This is irrelevant. The onboard ata0 and ata1 are actually PCI devices. These lines are only ever used if you have an ISA-only legacy system without a PCI IDE controller. I did a bit of searching. The CUBX motherboard uses a CMD PCI UDMA66 chipset. 4.x supports the CMD 640 and 646 chips. The CMD 648 (ATA66) and 649 (ATA100) do not have 4.x support yet. -current does have support though, so I imagine it will be merged back to 4.x sooner or later. I have cc'ed this to sos@freebsd.org, the ata maintainer. Maybe he can give us an update.
