[question on how to hot-swap IDE]

I have an IDE drive that I can disconnect and reconnect with no
problems.  It is not on a RAID though.  
The controller is nothing special, a ultra-dma thing
built into the shuttle motherboard.

The trick seems to be unloading the IDE kernel module before
reconnecting.  It probes the drive just fine upon reloading.
Unfortunately you can't do that with a IDE root file system.
