well, to follow up my own mail, the trick above didn't help.  the ata 
code still thinks it's a brain dead ata device and limits it to UDMA33.  
Help!  When I looked through the H/W compat list, it said that Nforce 2 
was supported, which is why I felt confident buying the board.  I'd 
really like to get this working at SATA 150, even if the current drives 
might be bridged.

Failing that, is there a definitive list of SATA PCI boards which 
FreeBSD does full support?

thanks
