Googling on this topic, I found info on a Linux
kernel configuration site:
<Quote>
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000
The PC-Technologies RZ1000 chip is used on many
common 486 and Pentium motherboards, usually along
with the "Neptune" chipset.
Unfortunately, it has a rather nasty design flaw
that can cause severe data corruption under many
conditions. Say Y here to include code which
automatically detects and corrects the problem
under Linux. This may slow disk throughput by a
few percent, but at least things will operate 100%
reliably. If unsure, say Y.

I wonder whether FreeBSD (at least 4.X) uses the same
strategy to bypass the RZ1000 trouble on my PC.
Regards,
Rob.
