Meanwhile, could you try this patch to boot2.c and ata-disk.c and install the new bootblocks created by this and see if it works with a genuine "ad" device set. You should then use ad?? in fstab of cause. Boot directly ie like 0:ad(0,a)/kernel from the boot promt, as the /boot/loader doesn't know about "ad" devices... Another thing to try is to dump down ata-disk.c so it doesn't use either multi-sector mode or DMA, as that might confuse some disks, notably WD but also Quantum has had some marginal disks... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
