bootselect problems

Greetings,

I need to add a tag generator in there!
The newer baremetal is breaking with ide.c from the freebios/src tree. I'm
looking at that, but in the meantime, you can change
util/baremetal/lib/Makefile to skip ide.c and it will compile (minus ide
support of course).

When I get a moment, I'll either fix it or remove IDE in CVS for now.

G'day,
sjames
