Well, finally atacontrol is born (yes it is still infantile). That means some things has changed, to name a few: 1. The sysctl hw.atamodes does no longer exist. 2. The options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA, ATA_ENABLE_WC, ATA_ENABLE_TAGS no longer exists. 3. There are new tunables to set the boot behavior etc, see ata.4 4. Atacontrol can change the transfermodes etc on devices, and allows for detach/attach/reinit of ATA/ATAPI devices, for more see atacontrol.8 Let me know of any problems you may encounter...
