Subject:   How to de-select DMA to ad0?

I've had my share of problems with this drive's DMA abilities.  I'm
convinced that it has none... even though it probes as such.

ad0: <NEC Coporation DSE2550A/5DE0314> ATA-0 disk at ata0 as master
ad0: ...
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, DMA

now... when I boot -v, I don't have a chance to write down what it
says, but it will hang every time with the following output:

ad0: ad-timeout: lost disk contact
ata0: resetting drives -- mask=03 status0=50 status1=50 ..

And that's it.  It never prints out "done" which I see in many of the
list messages.  Is there a way of disabling DMA on a specific drive?
I read a bit of the source, but didn't find any obvious documentation
on the issue.

(This is all on a kernel compiled from a cvsup this afternoon)

Dave.
