Oh well, on to another box.

Or on to another controller. ;-)

Just a guess... is that drive a MASTER drive or a SINGLE drive?

I had issues with both OpenBSD and NetBSD on IDE machines whose single
hard disk drive was configured as a master drive instead of single drive.

Same symptoms: HDD not detected... once changed a jumper in the disk drive
all worked fine. The last example I remember is with a Dell PowerEdge 350
whose slave drive was removed without touching the jumpers on the master
drive.

Cheers,
Igor.
