I`ve FreeBSD-7 STABLE installed on HDD for a long time, so I don`t need to boot FreeBSD CD /w installer. Last I`ve updated to kernel from 13th November (via csup + make buildkernel/installkernel procedure). Before I`ve not used FreeBSD some time because DRI is not workin` with onboard graphics (Intel GMA4500, but Mr. Noland is doing great job here). But now to the situation/problem: you are almost 100% right, but I`m not booting FreeBSD from CD, but from harddrive (SATA-300 mode). After I kldload atapicd, a see the error you have up there ( g_vfs_done() ), and also I`m unable to mount /dev/acd0 anywhere ending /w READ_BIG neverending errors. Maybe they sometimes ends, but after 10 minutes of waiting I`ve pressed hard-reset button. Maybe I should try -CURRENT sometimes with your proposed ata patches (or are they merged in right now?).
