Hola Manuel,

Are you using ATA-100 or ATA-133 cables to hook your Maxtor to the SIS
motherboard. Don't connect your CDROM on the same controller as your HD.

What do you have in your /boot/loader.conf. The following are possible.

ruby# m loader.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
userconfig_script_load="YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
ruby# sysctl -a | grep hw.ata
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1
hw.ata.wc: 1
hw.ata.tags: 0
hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1

BTW, I have one of those motherboards but haven't tried to replace my
gateway with it. I have 4 machines with SIS-645.
