Hello,
There is indeed a good upport for ATA66 in 4.0 (I use it with very good success on my home box).
To use it, you will have to use a very recent snapshot of 4.0 (this is around 140 Megs) from current.freebsd.org. With it, you'll be able to boot directly from an ATA66 drive (mine is a MAXTOR)
TfH

Subject: Question on udma66 support
I am attempting to install FreeBSD 3.3 on my PC without much success. (At
boot time I get "panic: cannot mount root", and when I try to run fdisk from
the CD configuaration menu it says I have no hard disk. (I am using the
Walnut Creek distribution disks)). I suspect that the problem is caused by
my hard disk controller, which is a udma66 controller on an Abit BP6
motherboard (with a Celeron 466 processor). I saw a posting on a newsgroup
that says this controller is planned to be supported in 4.0. Do you know if
this is true? If so, do you know when a "stable" version of 4.0 might be
available?
Thank you for your help.
Tom Lemaire
