Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I got it working, though I
still don't know what was wrong.  With nothing to lose, I decided to
just try the mysterious 'Initialize' option in the BIOS East-Setup
menu and it magically fixed the problem.  I have no idea what
Initialize changed, and couldn't find any info about it anywhere on
IBM's support site.  Very weird.

As an aside, I couldn't boot into the installer from any FreeBSD CD
that I have (4.3, 4.1, 3.2 and even 2.2.7).  I always get "Can't find
'kernel'" and "Can't fine 'kernel.old'", or a complete hang in 2.2.7.  
Well, doesn't matter, the floppies seem to do the trick - I'm
installing at this moment.  Hope it's smooth sailing from here...

Anyway, thanks guys for responding, I appreciate it.
