wd0 at atabus0 drive 0: <Maxtor 6Y160P0>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
wd0: 152 GB, 317632 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 320173056 sectors

this is on NetBSD 3.1 on a ultra5.

OTOH, the IDE controller on the U5/U10 is soooo slow that it might be more
fun to get a IDE-to-CF adaptor, boot from a 1G CF card, and put a real
hard disk on a SATA adapter...
