%We in the computer hardware business have a better name for ``FIC'',

%I say they are known for their lack of quality :-).

How about FIO: Fix it Once.  I swapped in an ASUS K7 and now everything
is back to normal:

ata-pci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA-66 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 4.1 on 
pci

ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported
ata0 at 0x01f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0
ata1 at 0x0170 irq 15 on ata-pci0

[...]

ad0: <IBM-DTTA-371440/T71OA73> ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master
ad0: 13783MB (28229040 sectors), 28005 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

ad1: <IBM-DPTA-372050/P76OA30> ATA-4 disk at ata1 as master
