[CLUE-Cert] Athlon64 box

I finally got started on trying to build LFS on the new box.  Much of 
the hardware seems to be working ok, but I haven't tried burning CDs or 
DCSs yet, and I don't know if the CompactFlash reader in the floppy 
drive works.   Built -in Ethernet and sound are n't tested and the video 
card has not been tested with X.

It looks like I need to build a cross-compiler in order to compile 
64-bit code for this system.  I expected something out of the ordinary 
when I decided to use the Athlon-64.

There are two temperature sensors in the box.  I left them coiled up for 
now, and they show an internal temperature of 85.4 degrees.  I will 
probably monitor the CPU temperature later to see how hot it gets.

One interesting thing about a SATA drive.  It shows up as hde instead of 
hda, apparently because the motherboard also has two regular ATA 
connections.
