Hmm, it's strange... I'm using same DCAS 4G drive under 1.3F
for a month without a trouble.  It's my boot drive.  When I
moved to it from DORS there were some panics, but the reason
was that I made 8 partitions into it.  7 partitions are OK.

May the size of the partition table cause the problem?

I'll post the result of disklabel tonight if anyone has
interest.
