Q: I have this CMD640 IDE controller that is said to be broken.
A: Yes, it is. There's a workaround available now, but it's not yet
enabled by default in FreeBSD 2.2. In order to install your system
using this controller, you need to make sure that you are only
using drives on one of its channels. Don't forget about your ATAPI
CD-ROM drive! It must be the second drive on the primary channel
if you are going to install from it onto an IDE disk.
Once your system is installed, rebuild your kernel with the option
CMD640. Refer to the FAQ and handbook for more detailed information.
A: Yes, it is. There's a workaround available now and it is enabled
automatically if this chip is used on your system.
For the details refer to the manual page of the disk driver (man 4 wd).
