Description:

        Much of the time, if I boot my machine with the disk set in the
        BIOS to AHCI mode, it doesn't see the whole disk.  This causes
        errors in finding the NetBSD partition and the root partition,
        and if you persist you'll overwrite random parts of the disk,
        including things outside of what NetBSD should be touching.

        It is not 100% reproducbile.  In tests today, it didn't happen
        if I rebooted from power-off; it did happen if I warm-booted.
        This suggests a bug in the initialization code.


Please confirm that you are running the latest firmware from Lenovo.
