We had some trouble getting FreeBSD -current to work with a motherboard
whose BIOS was configured to use PIO mode 4 for the IDE disk. Switching
it to mode 0 seemed to solve the problem.

My question is, what are these modes and which modes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
does FreeBSD reliably work with?

Thanks,
-Archie
