freebsd stable - Feb 2012 - Disable DMA.

Hi,

In FreeBSD 8 i used the loader-variable hw.ata.ata_dma=0 to get my computer boot
on a CF card. But
in FreeBSD 9.0 it doesn't seem to work. Could it be another variable or is
it something else that doesn't work
in 9? The machine boots up the installer when the CF-card is not present but
when it is present it stops right
after the "Timecounter" stuff.

On 9.0 you can to it with
hint.ata.X.mode=PIO4
, where X is a bus number.

In recent 8/9-STABLE I've also resurrected hw.ata.ata_dma=0.
