"bad cable connections? bad termination? missing jumpers?"

Sounds like a good bet to me. also is your SCSI card listed here?:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html

The waiting 15 seconds thing is normal btw

Also boot the server with the SCSI card disabled or removed from the
system, you could be having a problem with another device.
