>Description:
	System has a pair of EIDE drives merged via ccd.  Writes to this
	partition occasionally yield
savecore: reboot after panic: biodone already
	but I don't know how to usefully debug this further.

>How-To-Repeat:
	untar large file on the ccd'd drive.

	The controller is one of the Promise controllers supported by the new
	pciide driver, but it has a local patch (taken off the NetBSD mailing
	lists) to coerce the IO area under 0x8000, because this is apparently
	necessary on this system.
