478 pin Celeron; 2.1 GHz 512 MB DDR DIMM (2 ea.) SiS962(L) Southbridge
I then found that I couldn't boot the (FreeBSD 4.7) system, getting:
ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting ata0: resetting devices
After a bunch of Googling and some discussions on freebsd-questions, I decided to change line 90 of /usr/src/sys/dev/ataata-disk.c to:
static int ata_dma = 0;
This works, but I suspect that it is slowing down my disk I/O quite a bit. So, I would like to know the prospects for this controller being supported in FreeBSD any time soon.

P.S. I have been told that I should be able to boot from a PCI-based
EIDE card, but I am not familiar with the (AMI)BIOS. If you can
supply me with specific instructions, I would be MOST grateful.
