Seagate 4GB ATA-CF drive on IDE bus won't work

[Albert Boeve]

I want to install Freebsd 6.2 onto a seagate 4GB compact flash microdrive.

Neither FreeBSD 6.1 or 6.2-RC1 installers seem to detect the ATA-CF card on
the bus; although NetBSD was able to be installed on the drive and works OK.

I have tried installing the drive as ata0 master in two different machines;
both times NetBSD is able to boot off the drive -ie the hardware is working
fine - however the FreeBSD insaller does not detect the drive.

Fitting the microdrive in a working FreeBSD machine as ata1 master does not
give any further debug info - no dmesg, sysctl seems to log the attachment
as failing, although it is detected by BIOS as ST64022CF.

# atacontrol list

	Slave:	no device present

NetBSD atactl gives:

Is there a simple fix to make FreeBSD ata recognize the drive? 

NB there is a simmilar question about using the same card in a pccard
adapter,

which appears to have been resolved?

Thank You
