  After inspecting /dev a bit more thoroughly, I also found that after a 
./MAKEDEV all, everything is updated to the current date except for all of 
the ad4 entries, and the ad5 entry. These remain dated May 8 2001. The 
MAKEDEV has been run normally, and from single-user.

  Seeing as how there was apparently an ATA update in March of 2002..

  Is there a way I can safely remove and rebuild those entries? Or is this 
even related at all? I'm grasping at straws, I know.

  Thanks for your help.

  Aaron Lewis.
