Subject:   unable to boot install disc 1 on asus p2l97-s

Dear all,
I started a new FreeBSD 4.6 installation on an ASUS P2L97-s board
with onboard Adaptec 7880 scsi as well as PIIX4 ATA-IDE controlers.
On this system, IDE is only used for ATAPI CD Drive.

Unfortunatly, there is no way to get sysinstall up and running.
When I try to boot with either FreeBSD disc 1 CD, disc 2 CD or
generated boot floppies, boot process hangsup right after having 
probed serial and parallel interfaces, whitch seems to indicate 
a failure of the ata devices probe.    

Please, notice also:
I had the same behaviour after having completly disabled IDE at bios
level.
I had the same behaviour after trying with FreeBSD 4.5 boot CD.
Hmm, finaly I had no problem at all trying to reinstall linux (!)

Furthermore, i tryied to stop boot process at boot loader prompt, 
running lsdev in order to see what wendt wrong... the system
crashed gracefully :(
I  have absolute no idea about interpreting the output below,
after my signature.

Would someone be nice enough in giving me some tips for resolving 
this issue ?
 
Many thanks in advance
Kindest regards

Bertrand
