It's usually nothing to worry about -- the BIOS usually sets things up for a decent mode (usually PIO mode 4, which uses almost the same timings as multiword DMA mode 2), and if your disks aren't misbehaving, you don't need to do anything. PS: Could you do pciconf -l and send me the results? I have this feeling your board has an Acer chipset (or, at least, it's not Intel, Promise, or VIA). -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet and WTnet)| | lcremean@tidalwave.net| http://st-lcremean.tidalwave.net/~lee | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
