There is a PR talking about interaction between the BIOS and the [s]ata-driver being problematic (wrt PCI-settings) ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=103435 ) And some kind of allocation seems problematic: on the former MB pci_alloc_map() gave an error, now it is an occassionaly failing ata_alloc_request().
