I'm about to install FreeBSD 3.2 on a machine with an IBM-DJNA-371350
(Deskstar 22GXP 13.5GB) drive.  I see that on the -current mailing
list a few weeks ago you (phk) said:

>Try disabling "ultra DMA" in the BIOS, that seems to have worked for
>me on my IBM-DJNA-371800 drive.

Is that relevant for 3.2 as well as current?  And by "disabling ultra
DMA" did you mean "disabling UDMA66" or "disabling UDMA completely"?
(You can permanently disable UDMA66 with a DOS utility available
from IBM, and it will then act as a plain UDMA33 drive.)

Thanks,
-- Richard
