		+	I think the wd controler is hard coded to a single instance... so by adding two of them, it got a little confused, and merged the disk definitions onto the single 'instance' and then pretended to have two of them........
		+
		+	Back then, I don't recall 2nd WD controllers being that popular, until the rise of the IDE-CDROM's since so many of those came with their own IDE controllers, or were part of a sound card setup, like the soundblasters that moved from that slow ass mitsumi & mashita interface to a secondary IDE interface...

		+	=== Adding disks. Broken, or I'm Doing It Wrong(TM) ===
		+
		+	Sometimes you get carried away and want too much. Things don't always work the way you expect them to. Here an example of such a tale.
		+
		+	With an extra controller in bochsrc you can have 4 disks.
		+	I added to the bochsrc
		+	<pre>
		+	ata1: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x170, ioaddr2=0x370, irq=15
		+	ata0-slave: type=disk, path="disk1.img", mode=flat, cylinders=1024, heads=16, spt=63, translation=none, model=generic1
		+	ata1-master: type=disk, path="disk2.img", mode=flat, cylinders=1024, heads=16, spt=63, translation=none, model=generic2
		+	ata1-slave: type=disk, path="disk3.img", mode=flat, cylinders=1024, heads=16, spt=63, translation=none, model=generic3
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Boot and as usual do
		+	<pre>
		+	rm -r /sys/compile/*
		+	cd /sys/i386/conf
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Edit the disk parts of BOCHS to:
		+	<pre>
		+	controller wd0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
		+	controller wd1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
		+	disk wd0 at wd0 drive 0
		+	disk wd1 at wd0 drive 1
		+	disk wd2 at wd1 drive 0
		+	disk wd3 at wd1 drive 1
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Compile the kernel
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	config BOCHS
		+	cd /sys/compile/BOCHS
		+	make newvers
		+	make depend
		+	make
		+	mv /386bsd /386bsd.old
		+	cp 386bsd /386bsd
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	mknod the new devices:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	cd /dev
		+	sh /dev/MAKEDEV wd2 wd3
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	reboot
		+	<pre>
		+	sync; sync; sync
		+	shutdown -rf now
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	At boot there are, the controllers, but not completely as expected, 8 instead of the 4 slots. It is not making sense.
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	wd0 0:<generic> 1:<generic1> 2:<generic> 3:<generic1> 4:<generic> at 0x1f0 irq 1
		+	4 on isa
		+	wd1 0:<generic> 1:<generic3> 2:<generic> 3:<generic1> 4:<generic> at 0x170 irq 1
		+	5 on isa
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	They mount fine.
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	mkdir /mnt/1 /mnt/2 /mnt/3
		+	mount /dev/wd1a /mnt/1
		+	mount /dev/wd2a /mnt/2
		+	mount /dev/wd3a /mnt/3
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	But, when you try to map them back to your emulated disks,
		+	on guest:
		+	<pre>
		+	echo XXX_wd1XXX >/mnt/1/driveno
		+	echo XXX_wd2XXX >/mnt/2/driveno
		+	echo XXX_wd3XXX >/mnt/3/driveno
		+	</pre>
		+	on host:
		+	<pre>
		+	$ for i in disk1.img disk2.img disk3.img ; do printf "$i: ";strings $i \|grep XXX_wd; echo ;done\|grep .
		+	disk1.img: XXX_wd3XXX
		+	disk2.img:
		+	disk3.img: XXX_wd1XXX
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	One & three got swapped and 2 seems missing. Not good.

 I don't think this needs to go a lot further, we have a description how to get 386BSD 0.1 to work and how to run the historically significant patch kits. OTOH, it is very cool to see how far this old geezer can be pushed. There is no limit to it. I will not rest until I have it run headless w/ sshd and operating a root nameserver *g*. Would be nice to get that 386BSD.ISO FreeeBSD hosts mounted, which brings me to X.
-Check that CD, there is a bunch of X related stuff on it in dirs with `cons' in the name. At first glance patches and binaries for mono and color and few tools like xroach, xscreensaver. I didn't run into the full xfree86 sources on that CD yet, but you should be able to grab missing bits from what was in vogue back then from the first netbsd release (19 Apr 1993, is somewhere just after patchkit 0.2.2, even the binaries should be good).

		+	Well, machdep.c is easy to fix to support more RAM, but then I would be forking it into dugoBSD. That seems a bit out of scope here.
		+
		+	Not sure what Rodney intended with the version numbers, the last released kit is numbered 0.2.4-B1 or just 0.2.4. I suppose if Jolitz would have given his blessings the kits would bring it to 386BSD 0.2.4, but the kits remained unofficial. Patchlevel refers to individual files and count the number of times they are patched in this context, I think, w/ eg. wd.c going up to patchlevel level 6.

 I tried the windows package you made. Works like a charm. Judging machdep.c you can tone down -m to 64 though.
