I get about a 30 second delay during boot for each hard-drive
connected to my PC.  I'm running FreeBSD 8.1 AMD64 on an ASUS
Sabertooth X58 motherboard.

atapci0: [ITHREAD]
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata2: [ITHREAD]
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0

Is there something I can define or disable to make these timeouts go faster?

These lines get the delay:

ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
