Interesting.  (AMD bios?)  Different chipset, different type of disk 
controller, different type of memory.  I'll confess my ignorance on the 
matter, does FreeBSD do busmastering of IDE?  Given the type of errors I've 
seen, posted earlier, they *could* all be caused by a small flake in DMA 
handling, or cache invalidation.
