>Description:
FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE won't see my secondary IDE channel on my
Gigabyte GA-5AX. Consequently, no devices on that channel can be
used to install from, install on or to generally access data on those.
I have only encountered this problem on this mainboard (using ALi
alladin chipset M1541/1543).
When booting FreeBSD it will only find devices (HDs, CDROMs) on the
primary IDE channel and will declare the secondary IDE controller as
non-existant

>How-To-Repeat:
boot FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and try to install from/on a device on the
secondary IDE channel

>Fix:
workaround: install on devices in the primary IDE channel.
