  This may not be sparc64 specific, but.  I have a Netra X1 that I've =
been netbooting, to eventually install FreeBSD onto its disks.  Booting =
a recent stable/9. with the old disks (one 80G, one 250G), I would see =
the following [sort] of errors during [net]boot:

(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Retrying command
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): READ_DMA48. ACB: 25 00 cf cf b5 40 25 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: Command timeout
(ada0:ata2:0:0:0): Error 5, Retries exhausted

  In the past, with the old disks, it was ada1, not ada0, and that was =
the 250G disk that has been reporting errors when the system was running =
off of it (NetBSD 5.1).  So I assumed that was the problem.  However, =
I've replaced the disks with a pair of 320GB disks, and am now having =
that same problem and messages both during boot, and when trying to =
configure the disks with gpart, for both disks.

  Is this some sort of size issue?  And, is there any way around it?  =
NetBSD works on the machine, so I assume it's not that the hardware is =
deficient in some way with larger PATA disks...
