The PATA connector on these boards are a Marvell chip, and 6.2 does not support this. I know that Soren (sos@) was aware of this and had hardware, and I recently saw a commit that I think adds support to this to -CURRENT (it hasn't been MFC'd to 6.x yet). See this commit: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c?rev=1.179&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I will be attempting an MFC of this in coming days, as we are looking at using these boards on several systems soon. If I remember to, I will post the results of my MFC'ing once done :-) --Antony
