I am just wondering if arm, m68k, etc might have IDE ports that work
with ide-generic.  I have no idea to be quite honest.

Hmm, I must admit my newest x86 does in fact not have a /sys/bus/isa.  I
guess it really does not have anything left resembling ISA.

I can certainly give the installer a shot on my 486, if I can manage to
boot it somehow.  Any floppy images for the installer around anymore? :)

Do I have to put a disk image on a harddisk and boot from that?  CD and
network boot are not an option.
