The exact message I see for 4.8 is
	ata1-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded
	ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting

which gives me the impression that it's not recognizing the DVD:

hdc: _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

The SiS stuff is all on-board.  The nominal specs for this system are at

http://www.powerspec.com/systems/archives/system_archive.phtml

That is, the 9225 with memory and hard-drives doubled.  I'd like to put
the 3 BSD's on the second drive.

That does get it past that point, into the installer.  I'll see how far
that takes me today (am working now...)

I haven't tried 5.1 (I read earlier this year that 5.0 did not support this
chipset, and had read that FreeBSD 4.x did, so I started on that path).
Is this in 5.1, or is it part of upcoming 5.2?
