Does FreeBSD use a generic bridge drivers, or is there specific support drivers for the newer bridges? So far, everything has run quite nicely on 430FX and 430VX chipsets... And how about DMA-22 and Ultra-DMA 33 IDE drives? I expect that most of the special features of these drives are handled at the hardware level, and are invisible to the operating system, but I haven't really heard anything to support this theory.
