AFAIK, both drives show up *correctly* in the bios, regardless of
which channel I have them connected to. I can't remember which
drive designation they correspond to, but they show up in the
correct order. I'll check on that tonight and get back with you.

The Fuj (ATA66) can also *boot* NetBSD from either channel.  Note
that I haven't tried booting the Maxtor (ATA33) from channel 1,
but I don't think there would be a problem.

Yes, I am swapping the cables at the motherboard and no other
changes.

With the Fujitsu (ATA66) in channel 0 drive 0, netbsd boots off
the drive fine, but as soon as it tries to set up mount points, it
fails and after a few tries, drops to the boot debugger. I can't
even get the partition it's complaining about to sync before I try
to reboot.  When I reboot with the drive as channel 1 drive 0 after
this, none of the filesystems are corrupted though, so it appears
as though the partitions are never modified.

Another data point (consistent) is that I could only install NetBSD
on the Fuj when it was connected to channel 1 (wd1). It wouldn't
install as wd0 (channel 0), but I can't remember the error message
that was provided when I tried.

As to stability of the Fuj on channel 1(wd0), I did a dump/restore
from the Maxstor straight to the Fuj and completely rebuilt kde2
from that drive yesterday, with no problems whatsoever.
