Speaking of alignment, I still get "partition 1 does not end on a

are and neither do I. Disks have used

Hi,

The older IDE/ATA code doesn't support NCQ. The CAM ATA code (ie,
atacam) supports it if the drive supports it.
So, the "FreeBSD doesn't do NCQ" point is incorrect.
If you don't believe me - look in sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c, look for ata_ncq_cmd().
