Thanks for the link!

Last time I tried crossflashing (I tried to install IT firmware), it didn't 
work; the installer refused to install the firmware. I'll have to try again 
sometime. I'm still running the stock Intel IR firmware (which, fortunately, 
presents individual drives to the system in its stock configuration).

I hope it works out better this time.
