Subject: Getting FreeBSD or NetBSD to let Adaptec 1542 and IDE's coexist

Well, I tried and tried.
Both NetBSD and FreeBSD report the following error on boot:
aha0: Cmd/data port full
And then it doesn't detect the Micropolis 1.7G drive. This was after I
recompiled the kernel, because my Adaptec is at 0x130. Is it a problem
with the base address? or with my IDE?
Also... Does anyone know why FreeBSD and NetBSD fail to recognize the
internal IDE controller on a DELL 486DX2/66 "T" (tower) system? I had to
put a different IDE controller in and disable the internal one for it to
work.
