Strange filesystem mounting behavior: That was a stupid question

[Thomas Doerfler]

Etienne,

in general, you must add your individual disk device driver to 
the list of rtems device drivers, and afterwards, the general 
ata driver must be installed. In the "fileio" example, this is 
done conditionally, when a preprocessor directive 
"BSP_HAS_IDE_DRIVER" (or so...) is defined.

wkr,
Thomas.
