Ok with any disk as ad0 and any other as ad1. (2) as first master and (3) as second master are ok when booted under Win98. Any disk as ad0 and any other as ad2 under FreeBSD: as soon as I try to mount something from the ad2, I see continuos chain of complains: ad2: READ command timeout -resetting ata1: resetting devices done ata1-master: WARNING: WAIT_READY active=ATA_ACTIVE_ATA ... **Box (B): Ok with any combination of disks. If bios of (A) should be considered too old, then why Win98 gives more successful combinations, than FreeBSD? Note that second large master IS understood by Win98, but is NOT understood by FreeBSD (even if it has only ufs partitions).
