Nope.  Standard IDE through a multifunction card (QuickPath 13-port card
with two floppy controllers [one disabled], IDE, two parallel [disabled],
4 serial [16550-emulating ASICs], game port), to a WD2200 Caviar; there's
also a Quantum 80 MB drive on that controller, which isn't being used by
*BSD.  The controller is at IRQ 14 as usual.  I also have an Adaptec 1542B
with a Maxtor LXT340SY and an Archive Viper on it, but which isn't being
used this early in the boot.
