there is one IDE bus on which you have 2 devices:

one CF and one 2.5" HD

pciide0 at pci0 dev 18 function 2 "NS SCx200 IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <IC25N020ATMR04-0>
wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 19077MB, 39070080 sectors
wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <Hitachi XXM2.3.0>
wd1: 1-sector PIO, LBA, 488MB, 1000944 sectors
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2
wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 1

This means you must use a jumper on the HD to switch between master/slave
and in the BIOS, you must set the environment variable 'FLASH' to either
primary or secundary.
