Hi!
We're trying to install FreeBSD 4.9/RC on a system with a
Asus P4S533-MX board (SIS 651 chipset). This does not work
with UDMA enabled. Is this problem known? Is there a work-around?
Yes, this problem is known (PR-43345). Unfortunately, it is not very
easily fixed under 4-stable (I believe -current already has a fix for
this) according to the people who are experts on the ATA code.
Workaround, here is my experience:

Basically, if your BIOS allows you to turn off ultra-dma, you will get
FreeBSD installed. The patch described in PR-43345 works for me, but
YMMV, because I use a 20G ATA66 hard drive.
Hope this helps a bit.
