I would recommend setting one to master and one to slave... sometimes auto
isn't auto and it just gets confused... which seems to be happening here...
Can't hurt to try it that way

I don't have all of it, but I do have a relevant excerpt.
When you try to boot with two drives on the primary cable,
you see the following:

...
ad0: <WDC WD 200BB-18DEA0/05.03ED05> ATA-5 disk at ata0-master
ad0: 19073 MB (39062500 sectors), 38752 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, BIOSDMA
ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode-5 cblid=1
ad1: scuuess setting WDMA2 on generic chip
Creating DISK ad1
ad1: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices ..

and then nothing. The machine hangs. With one drive on the
cable, it's OK. Both drives are WD drives, jumpered to "auto."

Yes, I believe it's a ServerWorks chipset.

They start at $600 US, which is inexpensive for a server with
ECC RAM, etc. Trouble is, we have to put this one into service.
Do you have a way of getting a look at one? Or if I gave you an
account on one, could you snoop around from a distance?
