Promise SX4060 again - a little progress with 6.1

[Mark Kirkwood]

I tried a different setup - using a spare drive on the boards ata 
controller, booting off that - and attaching a single drive to the 
SX4060 after cvsuping to 6.1 Pre-5

Due to the boards buggy ServerWorks ROSB4 ata controller, I've set 
hw.ata.ata_dma=0 in loader.conf (This might have helped matters too I 
guess).

So with this setup, it boots (after complaining somewhat).
Now that its booting I'm in a position to try patches/hacks etc, so any 
suggestions for stuff to try are welcome!

Cheers

Mark
