Just for the records. I have an one year old Acer Aspire One D250, running 9-CURRENT and never have had this HDD trouble. I just went to the BIOS now (I think it was for very first time) and see: D2D: enabled SATA mode: AHCI It boots FreeBSD normal from USB key or HDD. The biggest problem was to get the Wifi card working with NDIS, because the box came with Win7 pre-installed (which I wiped out before the 1st boot) and I needed the bcmwl5 driver for NDIS. Don't know if 10-CURRENT now has support for the Broadcom BCM4310 USB Controller...
