from dmesg:

ad3: 76319MB <WDC WD800JB-00CRA1> [155061/16/63] at ata1-slave PIO4

ha2-ha1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad3 bs=1k count=1

similarly sysinstall fdisk cannot write to disk with error:

ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad3!

But I can write to this disk using the freebsd install cd.

System is 4-6-2-STABLE with GENERIC kernel

Any ideas.

Thanks,
Murat
