Well, it's not seeing the disk drive that's physically attached to it, 
although it does spin up...

stinky# atacontrol info 2
Master:      no device present
Slave:       no device present

stinky# atacontrol mode 2
Master = BIOSPIO 
Slave  = BIOSPIO

Looks like I'm out of luck?

The full dmesg output (which I'd truncated) is:

ata2: <PC CARD MANUFACTURER PCMCIA ATA/ATAPI Adapter> at port 0x180-0x187,0x386-0x387 irq 11 function 0 config 37 on pccard0
