Thanks for your answer and a good da also, Eygene.
Here's the reqested output, only without alias greped. Since I found a 
BIOS updates I also get est0, but like you correctly assumed with 
"attach returned 6".

I already used cd1 as device, hence the atapicam device. Fortunately I 
need the ODD really seldom, but for the last two years I had to boot 
another software because none of my drives worked. Am I the only one 
with that massive problems? Could the AHCI mode be the culprit?

Thanks for your time!
