Thanks to all for the effort, but it didn't. The dmesg output still 
shows only ata0 and ata1. I am starting to believe that the problem 
lies in the Dell, not in FreeBSD.

I'll work around this by attaching the drive to the second IDE 
controller and later experiment with adding a third controller on the 
PCI bus.
