 I must be doing something simple very wrong.
 But what? What f*cking manual did I not read?

man atacontrol?

I don't know if your problem is the same as mine, but I recently
had a similar issue trying to partition a disk which came up in
UDMA100 mode; it wouldn't work until I forced it to UDMA66.

I think my problem came from the disk being attached with a
less-than-optimal cable, but I haven't researched it further, as
I don't need it to be particularly fast.

Just a suggestion, though - all standard disclaimers about
variations in your mileage apply.

Good luck,

 Hello.

 I am rather new to FBSD5.3.
 I did a custom install leaving
 some room on my (ata) hard disks. Later I
 decided to create a separate /usr/obj
 partition. I started /stand/sysinstall
 and tried to create a new slice and
 a new partition in it. Sysinstall reported
 that it cannot write to the hard disk.

 partition inside an existing slice.
 The same again. I tried the same manually

Was it mounted?

HTH,
