I installed FreeBSD on a work colleges computer and found something odd.. I have the following in /boot/loader.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # userconfig_script_load="YES" agp_load="YES" snd_pdm_load="YES" snd_ich_load="YES" if_xl_load="YES" miibus_load="YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" But when I check dmesg..
