Well, FWIW, I had another ATA controller card here (an Adaptec ATA RAID 
1200A) which uses the HighPoint chipset ... I simply swapped the SiI0680 
controller card for this one, and now my FreeBSD system is performing 
beautifully. All of my drives are recognized, configured properly, and (at 
least with minimal testing) appear to be working just fine.

Perhaps this revelation will help to shed some light on what the culprit 
could be ... let's hope so.

TTYL,
Mike
