ata1-slave: FAILURE

[Gerard Seibert]

I just did a clean install of FreeBSD 5.4. While booting up, the following 
messages appears:

as0: 7665MB <QUANTUM Bigfoot TX8.0AT/A04.0V00> [15574/16/63] at 
ata0-master UDMA 33

ata1-slave: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE status=1<ERROR> 
error=4<ABORTED>

acd0: DVDROM <COMPAQ DVD-ROM GD-2000/0056> at ata1 master PIO4

afdo: REMOVABLE <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI/14.A> at ata1-slave BIOSPIO

Obviously, I am referring to the "FAILURE" message. I have no idea what it 
means or how to correct it. I did google for an answer, but not with a 
whole lot of success. I am not even sure if it is serious or not. 
Everything seems to be working correctly.

I have a regular CD and an internal ZIP drive installed besides the HD.

I am trying this OS on an old Compaq 5140 computer. Not exactly the latest 
thing I know, but I want to learn how to use it before trying it on my 
production machine.

Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.
