I'm assuming it's found in the initial setup for 4.6 'cuz I can install it
on the drives.

In trying to find 'ad?' in the boot log, I can't.  But 'ata?' is found in
two locations:

Firstly:
atapci0: <RZ 100? ATA controller !WARNING! buggy chip data loss possible> port 0
x3f4-0x3f7, 0x1f0-0xif7 at device 1.0 on pci0
atapci0: Busmastering DMA not supported
atapci0: Busmastering DMA disabled
ata2: at 0x1f0 on atapci0
ata2: unable to allocate interrupt
device_probe_and_attach: ata2 attach returned 6

and secondly:
ata1: at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0

If there's a way I could save the output, I would - but right now I'm just
typing from one screen to another ;-)

Any ideas?
