RE: Hardware detection

Exactly my problem. It says
ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable
ad4: 152587MB <SAMSUNG HE160HJ JF800-24> at ata2-master UDMA33
ad6: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable
ad6: 152587MB <SAMSUNG HE160HJ JF800-24> at ata3-master UDMA33

Weird. What would cause this ??


try changing SATA mode in BIOS (whatever it's called).

i have to set "RAID" (while not actually defining any RAID sets) to make it working.

you may think it is nonsense, and you are right, but BIOS isn't part of FreeBSD, and is written with windoze in mind, so don't expect any sense there.
