The below is the result written by my hand but expect the value is
correct.
ata1: <Intrepid Kauai ATA Controller> mem ~~~~~~~ irq 39 at device 13.0
on pci2
ata1: Firmware configured PIO register: 0x6149246
ata1: Firmware configured UDMA register: 0x2921
However I've encountered a another issue, kernel hang that my ad0's
transfer mode is UDMA100 according to the result of atacontrol(8)
$ atacontrol mode ad0
current mode = UDMA100
During compiling the kernel there was a kernel hang, no any panic
messages available. It was just hang. After setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0
I could compile the kernel.
