I am CC'ing Soren (Mr ATA) to see if he has any input.

When it boots I get ->
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
ad0: 29188MB <ST330630A> [59303/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ad0: trying fallback to PIO mode
ata0: resetting devices .. done
And sysctl hw.atamodes shows the drive is in PIO mode (bleh).
The drive is a 30Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm DMA66 drive..
The ATA controller is reported as ->
atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xa000-0xa00f at device 7.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
It seems to be running fine.. I am compiling a kernel and some software with no
hassles yet.
I have tweaked the BIOS a little based on my experience with the 8KTA+...
Integrated Peripherals -> Init Display First -> AGP
-> Onboard Serial port 1 -> 3F8/IRQ4
-> Onboard Serial port 2 -> 2F8/IRQ3
-> Onboard Parallel Mode -> EPP
-> Onboard Legacy Audio -> Dsiabled
Power Mgmt. Setup -> State After Power Failure -> On
PCI/PnP Config -> PNP OS Installed -> No
-> Resources Controlled by -> Manual
-> IRQ Resources -> 3,4,7 Legacy
