please excuse the lack of information and thank you for the support
i have limited hardware knowledge, but i think that my cdrom is atapi 
compatible and is the primary slave (device /dev/hdb in linux)
the hard-drive is the primary master (device /dev/hda for linux)
here are some lines from dmesg:

ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded
ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad0: 8223MB <ST38410A> [16708/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a

i'm trying also to disable dma for the hard-drive
sysctl hw.atamodes says "dma,---,---,---,"
i don't know what value to assign to disable dma

regards,
	anton
