>Description:
while booting, the kernel finds 2 disks instead of one. 
It can't access any of them. Here the boot output:

mem_cluster_cnt = 2
mem_clusters[0] = {0x0,0x25d000}
mem_clusters[1] = {0x25d000,0x1da3000}

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot System with PBSDBOOT.EXE and 
generic kernel with microdrive installed
>Fix:

unknown. Might have to do with wrong interrupt setup

 Subject: A possibility to use old microdrive on MP770 or MP800

 Hello out there,

 many thanks to Jun Ebihara. With his rmfiles... suggestions i was able to
 setup
 a versatile travel-installation on a CF-Card.

 Thinking about having more space to use a fullsize installation i've
 created a filesystem
 on an IBM Microdrive DMDM-10340. (extra partition wd0e for /usr)
 People who subscribed to this mailinglist know already that the vr-kernel
 has problems
 with probing the old Microdrive during the startup process in a MobilePro
 770
 and mounting / on it. (NetBSD Problem Report #11049)

 But it looks like there is one possibility to use the microdrive in these
 machines:

 1. Insert a CF-Card with a netbsd filesystem into CF-Slot. (i've also
 created extra partition for /usr)
 /etc/fstab should look like this:
 /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
 /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
 /dev/wd2e /usr ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/wd0f msdos rw 0 0
 /kern /kern kernfs rw

 2. insert the microdrive into a CF to PCMCIA adaptor but don't push it into
 the pcmcia slot (yet)
 3. Load the kernel with pbsdboot and pay attention on the messages.
 4. When the kernel found the CF-Card and tries to mount / on wd0a insert
 the PCMCIA-Adaptor with
 the microdrive into the pcmcia-slot.

 On my MP770 it worked and i think it is a good idea to use microdrive only
 when extra space is needed.
 I also hope that this helps on finding a workaround for the vr-kernel to
 mount the Microdrive as / when
 booting up.
 After making friend with my developing environment i'm also trying to take
 a closer look onto vr-Sources.

 Bye

State-Changed-Why:  
There were some changes to ATA support, which might have fixed this issue. 
Can you confirm if your problem still happens in NetBSD 1.6ZF or later?
