It appears that I had misconfigured the reply address in the news
reader (tin) so replying to my previous post would have resulted in
returned mail with an 'Unknown User' status.  I believe I have
corrected that problem.

I have determined that the kernel is in fact not recognizing the VESA
Local BUS IDE controller (DC-680).  I am not sure if the problem is
with the local bus or if the controller being newer than the release
of 386BSD is just not supported.  Has anyone else had any success with
local bus devices?  Also, if someone could recommend a few sources of
information about the workings of IDE it would be greatly appreciated.
