[haiku-development] Re: Filesystem corruption and Alpha-1

My primary PC uses the nForce 590 chipset (Asus m32n-SLI), for which the ATA
driver doesn't work.  For me it's not a big deal since I know that I have to
customise a haiku build with the IDE driver.  I'm pretty sure that everyone
on this list knows how compile a custom haiku image.  However, once Haiku
hits the streets and people try the official releases, how will they get to
use the old IDE driver without recompiling?  This isn't Gentoo, and
releasing 2 versions of Haiku is also silly, so what we really need is a
mechanism for the user to select the IDE driver when booting.

Cheers.
