Yeah, my searching on it seemed to suggest that it was popular in
embedded stuff.

Would you mind forwarding the links you dug up? I think you may have
run across some things that I haven't.

It is - it's actually the first option in the IDE Configuration menu.

Also under IDE Configuration, and also enabled.

The chip select stuff is default from the reset at this stage, and I
really have no intention of touching it.
As you can probably imagine (or have read by now), this is a pretty
bare-bones BIOS. There's not really a whole lot in there to play with,
at least as relates to boot devices. We're pretty much out of knobs to
turn at this point; DMA settings are about all that's left. I've posted
a (fairly lousy) cameraphone shot of the screen in question at
http://tinypic.com/r/9lbdcg/6 in case there's anything useful I may be
able to try that I'm not thinking of.
Cheers,
