>Description:
	Manpage for ata(4) gives false information about:
	
...
     To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line:
           sysctl hw.atamodes
     which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string
     like this:
           hw.atamodes: dma,pio,---,pio,dma,---,dma,---, (--- = no device)
...

	And such.

	My kernel config with ATA devices is considered proper.

>How-To-Repeat:
	man 4 ata
	sysctl -a |grep hw.atamodes
>Fix:
	Someone with better ata knowledge should rewrite the manpage.
