Hello,
I can't seem to use my new external firewire hard disk :
(this is with 5.0-DP2, there are the same kinds of symptoms under 4.7-Stable)
My main question is to know where the problems are : is the hard disk dead ?
is the firewire/ATA bridge fried ? are all problems due to the driver ?
Any help very much appreciated
(or hints to get debugging / trace info)

Here follows a list of problems encountered :
1/ error messages at startup
============================================
when booting, the disk is detected as : (for 5.0-DP2)

I'm a bit disturbed by the "Request aborted" messages
2/ Geometry problems
============================================
furthermore, I can't use more than the first 1024 cylinders of the disk : I
cannot create a BIOS partition above cylinder 1024 (all partitions seem cut
at 1024, when seen from the 4.7-Stable of 5.0 fdisk, even when forcing 3648
cylinders for the size)
for now, I've tried to just use 4 1G partitions :
portable-cur# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3648 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3648 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 2040192 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 126/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 2040255, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 127/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 253/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 4080510, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 254/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 380/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 6120765, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 381/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 507/ head 254/ sector 63
portable-cur#
(why are all partitions active ?)
3/ Write errors
============================================
when I try to write to any partitions, one write operations ends "as stuck",
with an error message such as :

PS : I recently tried to read from the firewire disk of a colleague, which was
formatted as HFS+, so these attempts did not go very far
