the one ide port has been found.  device sdD0.
(secondary port 0x170, primary device A0)
but you are not given the option of booting from sdD0.
a quick drive-by of the code suggests that the error
register has some junk in it.  i would almost bet
this means that the media change bit has been set.

i'll try to get a bootable cd for you to try later today.
