 Doug Hendricks (logging in from different site):
 I have also replicated the problem on FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my pc.
 Someone named Bill Wagner has emailed me telling me that he has a very
 similar problem and also uses the VIA chipset for IDE.  It was his
 theory that FreeBSD 5.0 and earlier have a "generic" mode for operating
 VIA chipsets, but this was removed in later 5.x releases.

 If the maintainers of FreeBSD just want to say: "we won't support this",
 then I'll just live with 4.X.  I can't speak for Bill or others.

 Doug
