Hello !

Recently installed March 12 -current snapshot and compiled kernel 
with new IDE subsystem. I see interesting lines in dmesg:

npx0: INT 16 interface
ata0: master: settting up UDMA2 mode on PIIX4 chip OK
ad0: <QUANTUM FIREBALL EX3.2A/A0A.0D00> ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master
ad0: 3079MB (6306048 sectors), 6256 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
ad0: piomode=4, dmamode=2, udmamode=2
ad0: 16 secs/int, 0 depth queue, DMA mode
ata0: slave: settting up UDMA2 mode on PIIX4 chip OK

ad2: 6197MB (12692736 sectors), 12592 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

changing root device to wd0s1a
vinum: loaded
vinum: reading configuration from /dev/wd2e
vinum: updating configuration from /dev/wd1e
ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates
ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates

Does it mean that new ATA disks can queue up commands (something 
similar to SCSI disks?)? I feel like I heard something in the 
-current list lately but I'm not sure...
