Ah, I didn't know about that. It seems like the target systems will need to
be simple AND have ahci compliant boot controllers. Otherwise a bunch of
SATA drivers will need to be statically compiled in kinda like the old IDE
days. It'll be interesting to see how many users complain because they
"think" they shouldn't need an initrd... :o)
