>Organization:
>Environment:


	FreeBSD 4.5-20020327-STABLE, 4.5-20020329-STABLE

>Description:
	The probing procedure seems not work properly in the lastest
	4.5-xxxxxx-STABLE.

	(1) Probing procedure does not looking for the BIOS configuration.
	e.g., BIOS only enables primary IDE (ata0), but probing procedure
	ignores this information, and continues to configure the ata1.

	(2) disable command does not work well.
	"disable ata1" does not function correctly. ls command shows that
	ata1 is disabled (status changed from Yes to No). However, the
	installation procedure continues to configure the ata1 regardless
	ata1 status "Yes or No".

>How-To-Repeat:
	disbale the secondary IDE from BIOS and try the latest installation
	floppies (kern.flp + mfsrot.flp).

>Fix:
