I'm not complaining - it's on my home machine (I wouldn't even run -current on something important). I'm just puzzled because the error is weird (in short: disabling WITNESS causes my drive to be mis-recognized; I *can* run the same kernel with WITNESS enabled without problems, but I dont want to :) ), and there were no responses or similar errors reported from other people. Just my luck I guess :(
