Tried that already - no luck.  In desparation, I copied the IDE drivers to 
a diskette, rebooted from the dw volume and built a system in that 
environment (uses newer kernel, etc.).  Same thing :-(

Boots fine, logs to the hard disk.  Any attempt at accessing /x0 just 
hangs immediately with no communication taking place (according to the DW 
log and counters).
