False alert!

On a hint from Soeren Schmidt, we looked at the Promise ATA cables.  The 1U 
box integrator had reversed the cable,  controller-end to disk, and 
disk-end to controller.

With great difficulty, due to the cable routing having the middle ATA 
connector falling right on a too-small feedthrough hole (could explain why 
the integrator reversed the cable in the first place. it's a "reversible" 
flat cable after all!!), we got the cable connected controller-end to 
controller, and disk-end to disk and dmesg now shows;

ar0: 39083MB <ATA SPAN array> [4982/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
  0 READY ad4: 39083MB <Maxtor 6Y040L0> [79408/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA133

ar1: 39083MB <ATA SPAN array> [4982/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
  0 READY ad6: 39083MB <Maxtor 6Y040L0> [79408/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA133

Thanks Soeren!!
