-}Could you please show your 'pciconf -lv | grep -A3 ata' output?

-}My 1435 says:

-}~    class    = mass storage
-}~    subclass = ATA

-}But it's an SC1435 with SAS disks I believe, so things may different.
-}Also, will it be possible if you find some output from vmstat -i?

Certainly.  The system is up on 6.3 right now so this is simple.  ;>

Dude ? pciconf -lv | grep -A3 ata
atapci1 at pci0:2:1:  class=0x01018a card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x02141166 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'ServerWorks (Was: Reliance Computer Corp)'
    device     = 'HT1000 Legacy IDE controller'
    class      = mass storage

atapci0 at pci3:14:0: class=0x01018f card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x024b1166 rev=0x00

    device     = 'BCM5785 (HT1000) PATA/IDE Mode'

I had the SAS card in it but I needed to pull it because I needed to put a
SCSI card in for the autochanger(testing fbsd with bacula).

Here's the vmstat output:
Dude ? vmstat -i

I wasn't aware of the pciconf command.  It's kinda cool.  Now I'm wondering if
I can use it to write the proper data to the configuration register telling it
to not be in PATA mode.  OTOH, the potential to do improper things seems great
so this is a bit scary<so I'm open to all thoughts ;>.

I wonder if the dell is feeding bogus data to fbsd 7, or fbsd 7 is
misinterpreting what it's getting from the dell?
