The poster (rpj@fep.hirshfields.com) said that he could take the controller, cable, and drive out of one machine and place them in another machine (assumingly with a different motherboard?) and they would work. To me, this shows that it isn't the driver, but some interaction of the motherboard/BIOS and either the controller or FreeBSD.
