Nope, but HD over IDE power saves normally...

I just have some issues at wake up time where kernel detects HD 
errors that do not exist in fact.
This is since I moved from FreeBSD 4.x to 5.x/6.x
I intend to reinstall fully my box when FreeBSD 7.x will be released, 
in case this comes from the many updates.
