Hi,

this is just edorman's  patch for the fs kernel to let it work
with ide disks. Unlike the original patch as posted in 9fans,
this one can be `applied'  to the   current fs
kernel source. There is almost no change actually.


I don't know if the patch might break the fs code for regular scsi disks,
since it is `removing' some code which seems to be working on a scsi-based
fs. I couldn't try because I don't have scsi disks around. 

In any case,  I'm using the current fs code w/ this patch applied and it
seems to work ok. 
My configuration string (if I remember well) is ch0fh2. The
block size is 16K, but you may change the define for RBUFSIZE in
plan9pc/dat.h.

I'll try to keep the patch up-to-date wrt the distributed fs code
until the day when the new integrated fs code be done and released.

To apply the patch, I suggest you create two directories
./idefs/port and ./idefs/plan9pc, then run rc idefs.rc on ./idefs and
bind -bc ./idefs/port /sys/src/fs/port 
bind -bc ./idefs/plan9pc /sys/src/fs/plan9pc

after that you can mk in /sys/src/fs/plan9pc.  

hope this helps
