Maybe I am missing some important information, but on my -CURRENT
box (FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #17: Sat Apr 28 03:30:53 CEST 2001) I'm
unable to find hw.atamodes  :-(

# sysctl -a | grep -i hw.ata
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1
hw.ata.wc: 0
hw.ata.tags: 0
hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0


On the other (FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #3: Wed Apr 25 10:14:54 CEST 2001)
box they are in the right place:

# sysctl -a | grep -i hw.ata
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1
hw.ata.wc: 0
hw.ata.tags: 0
hw.atamodes: pio,---,---,---,


Ciao,
Riccardo.

PS: It is safer a world this days?  I wouldn't like to loose all files
    and rest only with lost+found as on HEADS-UP of same days ago...
