Unfortunately, I haven't been following this thread from the start - but
as it turns out, I should have been, because I'll be installing FreeBSD
on systems with a WD1007SE ESDI controller sometime this week.

There won't be a DOS partition, and I don't plan on using any
translation.  What problems (if any) can I expect to see, and what's the
best way to handle less-than-perfect media?
