Thanks for your reply.

Packet mode is already on, see:
> sudo boot0cfg -v ad0
#   flag     start chs   type       end chs       offset         size
1   0x00      0:  1: 1   0x07    247:254:63           63      3984057
2   0x80    248:  0: 1   0xa5    495:254:63      3984120      3984120
3   0x00    496:  0: 1   0xa5    743:254:63      7968240      3984120
4   0x00    744:  0: 1   0xa5   1023:254:63     11952360     66187800

version=187.102  drive=0x80  mask=0xf  ticks=182
options=packet,update,nosetdrv
default_selection=F2 (Slice 2)

As far as i understand boot0cfg(8), using setdrv wouldn't help: it's a
single drive i'm playing with (it's a laptop).
