I seem to be seeing exactly the same thing with the  DK440LX board I have.
Does anybody have this working without CAM? (No onboard SCSI obviously)

I have installed 2.2.6 to both a seagate drive hanging off an adaptec 3940
and to an IDE disk on the onboard controller, in both cases I either get
a read error if I have dedicated the disk to FreeBSD or 'missing operating
system' if I have installed with dos style partitions. It's as if the BIOS
refuses to boot a 165 partition from hard disk, this seems unlikly as it
boots the floppy fine.
