Yes, I am using a FreeBSD 7 kernel on a 5.3 system, but that has nothing to do 
with it. Maybe I should specify, that this device, afd0, is a 250MB ZIP

I cannot do this right now, but maybe later.

Looking at the logs it must be that "much rumoured ATA mkIII update". Maybe 
"sos" can explain or give some hints on how to fix this?
