so, i've almost gotten my U5 working properly with 2 ide disks and the ide
cdrom drive, the latter being slave on the primary channel the disks being
masters.  a good boot shows:

pciide0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0: CMD Technology PCI0646 (rev. 0x03)
pciide0: bus-master DMA support present
pciide0: primary channel configured to native-PCI mode
pciide0: using vector 32 for native-PCI interrupt
atapibus0 at pciide0 channel 0
cd0 at atapibus0 drive 1: <CRD-8240B, 1997/12/02, 1.22> type 5 cdrom removable
cd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <ST34342A>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA addressing
wd0: 4103 MB, 8894 cyl, 15 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 8404830 sectors
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2 (Ultra/33)
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 (using DMA data transfers)
cd0(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 (using DMA data transfers)
pciide0: secondary channel configured to native-PCI mode
wd1 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0: <ST315320A>
wd1: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA addressing
wd1: 14594 MB, 16383 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 29888820 sectors
wd1: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 4 (Ultra/66)
wd1(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 (using DMA data transfers)


a good boot only happens after a powercycle.  after a reboot, i get:

	pciide0: secondary channel ignored (disabled)

instead of the wd1 lines.


any ideas?
