Try 'atacontrol mode ad0' or 'atacontrol detach ata1'. 'device' must now
be the actual device name (but not not the path as in /dev/ad0) and the
channel must be the device name of the channel, not simply the number.

The syntax of atacontrol in current was modified a few weeks ago, but
the man pages have not been updated. (I sent an updated page to the list
recently, but I don't know if anyone noticed nor am I sure that Søren
agrees with my proposed wording.)
