Hello,

An OLC user has more than two IDE controllers in his computer and would
like to install Athena-Linux on it.  However, the user boots from /dev/hdg
and the installer sees only hda-hdd.  Could the the installer be updated to
include support for cases like this?  User's note to OLC follows.

Thanks,
