I am missing some context, but for me ad4 refers to the
first drive on an add-on card. (ad0,1 -> Primary IDE
controller, ad2,3 -> Secondary IDE controller)
handbook reference:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
(Rule out the situation described in:
2.6.1 BIOS Drive Numbering)
Your hardware in newer than mine: you have only one PATA
port and 2 SATA ports. While having your drive labeled as
ad4 strikes me as weird, I don't have enough BSD
experience to know if it is a symptom of a problem or not.
(I know my drive is on ad4 because the on-board controllers
are slower than my add-on card. After a BIOS update booting
is no problem. (I initially tried to forcibly disable the
on-board controller: now, I ignore it.))
Do you think you may have come across an installer bug?
If so, I suspect we will need more information about
exactly what you were trying to do.
