Hello, I've got a (P)ATA disk in a special frame. The disk itself supports UDMA-100 (and has an 80-ribbon cable), but the frame isn't compatible with that. By default, FreeBSD negotiates UDMA-100, and the console starts to fill with ICRC errors.
In the past, I used a patch to ata-all.c that enabled the following entry in loader.conf to force the disk to UDMA-33, so it worked fine: hw.ata.ata_dma_limit="2" But with the "new world", that doesn't work anymore. What is the proper way with ATA_CAM and ada(4) to force a P-ATA disk to a lower UDMA mode?
