These options were already set.  Any other ideas?  otherwise we're going 
to have to skip the flash card option and put a hard drive in this box 
:-( :-(

Thank you,

Maybe your CF-Card doesn't implement the ATA-Mode correctly. I once had a card 
which had wrong ATA-mode support but it didn't even boot.
But I don't know why these errors occur, I'd suggest trying the following 
in /boot/loader.conf:
hw.ata.ata_dma=0
hw.ata.wc=0

Good luck,

Well, I have no idea other than replacing the card with a generally knwon 
working one. I had no problems with Kingston CF cards and if you prefer 
DMA-capable cards I'd recommend SanDisk ultraII. But if your CF-Connector 
hasn't the neccessary DMA hardwired lines you need to disable ata_dma, though 
it's working fine.
I'd perfer experimenting, using a rotating HD is no solution. Have you checked 
your card in any other (ata-mode) device? In what kind of hardware do you 
plug in your card, Soekris, EPIA, WRAP, or general IDE-CF adapter?

We're trying to run m0n0wall on a Nexcom Nexgate 1045.

The card that came with it is a Sandisk card.  The card works in other
devices (we can extract the full image to it with no problems).

I prefer experimenting too, but the boss really wants it up :-( :-(

I can try to hunt down some other cards, but please let me know if you
have any other suggestions.

Adding to my response below, I'd like to also say that we have two of
these units, and both units have failed (with two different readers, and
cards).

Okay, I'm not really an ATA expert nor do I know the code, but what I found is 
that it could be a LBA/CHS problem.
Which version do you use? Have you tried to slice/lable the card inside the 
NSA 1045 (from a temporary FreeBSD holding HD)?
If I'm right you dump a preformatted image onto the card, maybe you have 
addressing problems
I gave up using images, PXE-booting (or installing a HD on machines which have 
the possibillity) and installing the base system right on the destination 
hardware turned out to be much safer and is not really more time consuming...

Mayby playing with BIOS LBA/CHS settings gives some hint's, I don't expect 
that, but I'd try that and if that all fails you may want to contact Søren, 
the ATA author.

the paste link below.
