I'm having this, except that the LBA= is for various high numbers, and I'm on FreeBDS 6.3 which I installed onto the CF through a USB reader on a different device. >That's with hw.ata.ata_dma="0" in /boot/loader.conf >and sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma shows hw.ata.ata_dma: 0 > >Is there anything else I can try to force a PIO mode? I want to know that too. Later that day: At 9:00 AM -0400 8/29/06, Jeff Quast wrote: >I had a little trouble myself upgrading to a 1gb cf from a 256mb cf in >openbsd.

I can't boot the Soekris box, so I can't run atacontrol there. How do I make the appropriate settings on the other box (the one that has the CF on a USB reader) so that they live through the bootup on the Soekris box? --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
