I waited for 5-10 minutes the first time. The second time I left it hanging 
when I went to bed. I will look at it when I get home from work. I bet its 
still hung.

My configuration is ata0 master, hard drive. ata0-slave empty. ata 1-master is 
DVD CDROM. ATA1-Slave is described above.

FreeBSD 4.10 stable does not have any problems with this configuration.

I die like a true rebel. Don't waste any time 
mourning---organize!

My Will is easy to decide
For there is nothing to divide
My kin don't need to fuss and moan
'Moss does not cling to a rolling stone.'

My body?--Oh!--If I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce
And let the merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my last and final Will.
Good luck to all of you.

1879 - 1914, American labour leader and songwriter
