Problem, freeBSD & my motherboard

[Efren Bravo]

Hello,

I've downloaded the last weekend 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso and  
5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso.    
   
Several errors were raised when the installer was running:    
   
ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out      
ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out      
ata0-master: Failure - ATA-IDENTIFY timed out      
atapi ... I don't remember the rest....      
   
My hdd is a Segate ST340014A (40Gb barracuda7200.7) with two partitions  
where in the partition one I've WinXP and I would want to install freeBDS  
on the second partition but it's not able to find the hdd. My Motherboard  
is:    
http://www.biostar.com.tw/products/mainboard/board.php?name=U8668-D%20v7.x    
   
I think that the problems is in fBSD that it's not able to communicate  
itself with IDE slots. In this case what can I do? In the  
freebsd-questions at freebsd.org list they told me that I should write you,  
that maybe you can help me and in the stable at freebsd.org no one answered me.  
   
I hope you can give me some suggestion    
Thank you....
