To boot from an add in ATA card, you have to choose scsi boot.
I'll look into this. However, I haven't seen any way to request this

The man page indicates that I can set assorted variables in this file,

hw.ata.ata_dma=0

I have tried a couple of PCI-based IDE cards. I see messages that

is seeing the disk. Unfortunately, the system is not willing to
