The original config file has a DMA setting of 0, which does not let one set DMA properly in the "-c" boot menu. Make a copy of your config file (probably /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) and change the "drq 0" to "drq 7" (or 5 or whatever). Then rebuild the kernel and configure it (again...) with the "-c" boot option. If you already tried this, well... A friend of mine works at Cubix, maybe he would have an idea. BTW I have talked with the sales droids at Cubix about using their systems in ISP settings, and they are somewhat interested. If you come up with anything interesting, I'd be glad to hear about it.
