I have installed NATA kernel, my laptop does not work with it.  Rest
of my boxes work fine, i.e. copy large files, compile LINT ...

I got follow messages when booting NATA kernel on my laptop:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a

I am quite sure the kernel source code include your latest NATA commits.

For old ATA kernel:
# dmesg | grep ata
