the installation should have asked you whether you want dma turned
on, if you said "yes" and it was still slow then the chipset is
probably not supported. with dma on the installation copies all files
in less than 5 minutes on reasonable hardware.

when you get to it, run 'pci' and send it to the list. it may turn
out that we just need to add the did/vid pair to sdata.c...
