We have only theoretical PCI IDE support right now. The automatic
hardware <-> driver detection has not yet been implemented completely,
and the IDE driver detection is currently hard-coded to ISA IDE (for
usage with Bochs).
Unfortunately, due to other bugs, we can only boot in emulators right
now (Bochs, Qemu etc. should work), anyway.

The site is easily accessible from here.

In emulators such as Bochs yes, it does. But the build system still
doesn't take this into account, so it's a bit hard to create the disk
image.

Yes.
