dfly hangs about a minute on the boot up when it's trying to search after SATA disks.

I disagree. Compare boot time of a pure ATA machine with and
without ATAPICAM, the default scan timeout of CAM is long enough
to trigger this.

Sorry for the delay -  been checking controllers and such ....
not a lot of good news w/r the cheap seats controllers.....
More when I have something less subjective...

I did say "cheap"?  One of two Sil 3114 controllers had a burr
on the cardedge that had to be cleaned up with needle files.  :-(
There will be more like that, so we need *someplace* else
to keep the discussion of such junk out of coder's faces.
