Hello!
20000320:
* * * W A R N I N G * * *
The ata driver has some issues with the Apollo MVP3 chipset.
Drives work only in pio mode and must be set to pio mode early
int the boot process. Do not upgrade. If you must upgrade
in the face of this, add
/sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio
to the start of /etc/rc.conf. Even if you do this, any and
all damage to your system is at your own risk. You have been
warned.

Of _course_ I own such a thing.

Two things: As you can see, my -current is from Mar 31,though I don't
know exaclty if I've taken sourcs from Mar 31, but I'm kinda sure.
Question is: Does the problem affect all versions?
It doesn't seem so, since I'm running two disks at UDMA33 without
problems:
ad0: 4133MB <FUJITSU MPE3043AE> [8959/15/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
ad2: 6197MB <IBM-DHEA-36481> [12592/16/63] at ata1-master using UDMA33
There still is a little chance that my sources wasn't from pre-03/20,
so - is this problem fixed?
Alex
