Uhm. There is no way to turn it off when you do an installation.
Interesting that those same disks work in the same UDMA33 mode on
another motherboard with a different chipset. I have tried both
Samsung and Seagate disks. I have also tried more than one
motherboard and they do the same, so it isn't just a faulty board.
I have also installed FreeBSD 3.4 on it and worked fine. I have
also enabled DMA on that with flags setting and that also worked
fine.

A verbose dmesg with version numbers was sent in an email to -current
with this id:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
But then maybe it is just me that have the problem.
