Hmm, are you willing to test a change that should fix that? If so, try http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/btx_crx.patch You'll need to do a 'make clean && make && make install' in /sys/boot after applying, and if the make install suceeeds, do a 'bsdlabel -B ad0s1' (replace ad0s1 with the actual slice you boot from). I think it should work (I think it was tested a while ago, but boot2 used to not fit, now it does though). Be warned though that if it doesn't work, you won't be able to boot from your disk. If that happens and you have a 6.x disc 1 lying around, you can boot into rescue mode and re-run 'bsdlabel' and move boot/loader.old to boot/loader on the root partition to get your system back. Ideally you'd try this on a system with data you don't care about (i.e., it's ok to just do a reinstall if it is hosed).
Hi John. I tested the patch on my -CURRENT box, both with the BIOS DMA enabled and disabled and I can confirm it works successfully. Test system is was a Compaq EVO D510 CMT desktop.
