Hi, BSD4.5 works well on my laptop, but I don't like the noise of the harddisk. Is there a way to lower it? Such as slow the speed or sth? It's ok for me if performance drop down to some extent, because I really don't like that noise. I've tried to use command config -ef /bsd - change wd to 0x8f9 or 0x9f9, but it seems nothing changed. After reboot, when I check the dmesg, it still said wd work in PIO4, DMA 5. And because now I still can't give up XP, when I comes into XP, the hard disk seems much more less noisy.
And it seems when I startx or start gnome, the noise come up much more higher. Is this related or it's just my wrong feeling? Any help is appreciated.
