This seems to be common ThinkPad problem with -CURRENT and 5.X,
this should help :
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-January/019435.html
alternatively you can use the DOS based setup tool called 'PS2' that can be
downloaded from ibm's site,
to disable devide 'IDE2'.
This worked for me, and others too.

Hope this helps.
