Five dead floppy drives (out of six available) and one BIOS update later, I now get the Sil controller probed by the BIOS, and it prints out its banner. Takes forever for it to start scanning for attached disks however, and once it does, it doesn't find any. Go figure. As such, I guess there's not much FreeBSD can do other than ignore it... pity, I'll have to make do with the ATA100 controller instead (which works without any problems at all, thank goodness). Still find it a bit odd that an old pentium motherboard can deal with the controller, whereas a p3 board can't. Oh well.
