It has certainly been interesting to follow how dma gets enabled, but
that still leaves me quite puzzled. To recapitulate the, admittedly
longwinded, description from my first post in the thread:
1) Dma is definitely off, because I type `no' when it asks whether
I want it.
2) Initially the kernel (the default install cd kernel) can read
and write the disk correctly, at least some of the time. I know
this because disk/fdisk has correctly set up my partitions, both
primary and secondary, as I can verify from FreeBSD, and disk/prep
can read the disklabel which it wrote on an earlier install
attempt.
3) Fmtarenas fails.
4) More puzzlingly, it seems to put the disk driver in a state
where it can no longer even read the mbr.
