We had tested combinations of BIOS settings extensively, using PATA CDR, PATA HDD, PATA <==> SATA converters, and SATA HDD - even an aged IDE Zip. To cut to the chase - When finished, we attached 2 SATA drives (only), wherein they appeared as /dev/ad10 and /dev/ad12, despite using the lower-numbered silkscreened-labeled SATA ports. Further tuning had us move from all IDE/ legacy BIOS settings to attempt AHCI enabling after a recent csup & makebuild* Nothing to do with FreeBSD - as we were unable to get out of the BIOS POST OR into 'setup'. Board hung-forever in the part where it tries to detect drives. BUT - after a screwdriver-blade CMOS clear, then BIOS reset to the *same* conservative/legacy settings as used with ad10 / ad12 ..what had been ad10 and ad12 appeared as ad0 and ad2 And gmirror complaineth not (thanks, PHK, PJD and others!) Bottom Line: BIOS is 'suboptimal', to put it kindly, and a CMOS reset is worthwhile before going further.
