NetBSD makes no use of this setting (it doesn't need it, as the ata/wd driver is sane enough to pick a proper value automatically, in contrast to AmigaOS scsi.device). It is important to have it set correctly during transfer of miniroot (on AmigaOS). BTW. As far as I know Mask value is unused on IDE controllers even on AmigaOS... |

IHMO you should set it! I have no idea because it only tells the controller to use chip-Ram 24-bit DMA or other Ram and as far as I read, there is no known device wich needs chip or 24-bit instead of any Ram. |

set it to the value I wrote or leave it as it actually is. The maxTransfer value is the value you must change!
And remember! a allready extracted miniroot.fs on your harddrive and also the copied adf-files and all others are eventually corrupt! You need to extract it again from a CD-Rom to ensure that it is not corrupt. |

Max transfer requirement is not drive/CF bug, it is ROM built-in IDE scsi.device "feature" (requires ATA-1 behavior that was removed in ATA-2, note that some drives still do support ATA-1 behavior)

Actually I provided a screenshot in an earlier post:
http://ahhyes.net/IMAG0030.jpg I thought I had set those to zero.. I think I just left the defaults as per in the screenshot |

your screenshot is showing your SWAP Paritition! There is no need for changing maxtransfer ! it is not needed and ignored by netBSD!
you have to change it only on your Amiga-OS Parititions! |

yes, but what about when writing the miniroot fs data to that partition whilst still in amiga OS? there is still the potential for this to be a problem?

I'll go back and check whether those values are messed up for any Amiga partitions, I was curious about the specific issue as mentioned above. |

Thanks for the suggestions! It's certainly given me something to go back and check. I ended up putting the amiga away after a lot of frustration and completely random behaviour that ended up driving me insane.
I think I will just wipe all the partitions and start from scratch with a clean slate. |

Unfortunately I have a 3COM 3C589 and NetBSD still doesn't support it. Is there a list of networks cards that work with NetBSD on the Amiga?

The supported Zorro network cards are listed here:
http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/amiga/ But your 3COM may be a PCMCIA card? Hmm... 3C589 belongs to the Eltherlink III family. Maybe the ep(4) driver works? Try to build a kernel with Code:
ep* at pcmcia? function? |
