It should pick up the onboard Ethernet card without any hassles. Support for the onboard PATA controller has recently hit -CURRENT (thanks sos@!); I'll be attempting a backport to 6.2 for our own internal builds in the next 48 hours, so can report how that goes... for those interested, it looks like src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c, revision 1.179, is the relevant commit... --Antony
