    sounds plausible, but then again,
    I DID try :

    - hw.ata.atapi_dma to "0" or "1" in /boot/loader.conf
    - hw.ata.ata_dma to "0" or "1" in /boot/loader.conf

    the HDD (a 2 year old 40 GB maxtor) works fine in pio mode..

    It would be great if the ATA driver author could find some time/energy
    to look into this..

    cheers, Fierman
