If your system has died you might want to check on the Multia-Heat-Death
pages at the NetBSD website http://www.netbsd.org
IDE:
The Intel 82378ZB PCI to ISA bridge enables the use of an IDE disk. This
requires a line in the kernel configuration file as follows:
device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
The IDE connector pin spacing is thought for 2.5" laptop disks. A 3.5"
IDE disk would not fit in the case anyway. At least not without sacrificing
your only PCI slot.
The SRM console does not know how to boot from IDE disks unfortunately.
SCSI:
In case you want to change the internal hard drive: the internal flat cable
running from the PCI riser board to the 2.5" (!!) hard drive has a finer pitch
