Gee, all those poor souls using the barsoom driver (NetBSD) are
getting these annoying error message, while those lucky ones running
with the 0.1, patchkit, or FreeBSD one never see it. Must be
something WRONG with the barsoom driver, eh?
Nope! The barsoom driver has the printf for the "extra
interrupt" uncommented. It is commented out in the other drivers.
This message can usually be safely ignored.

You do know that you can put two IDE drives on an IDE controller. Of
course, this assumes that the two IDE drives are compatible with each
other (drives from different manufacturers sometimes have problems
coexisting on the same controller).
Since it is important, and I don't know if NetBSD explains the setup
for multiple wd controllers in good detail...
- what are the I/O ports for the two controllers?
0x1f0 - primary (BIOS)
0x170 - secondary
- what are the IRQs for the two controllers?
14 - primary
something else such as 11, 12, or 15 - secondary (check what you
have free; I use 15).
