Here's a somewhat recent dmesg output: http://googlebit.com/freebsd/dmesg.txt.200508062026 I'd guess either it's a BIOS config problem, or something that was selected on installed. We have several D610's, and all the times I've tried installing FreeBSD on them, I've had no issues. I don't believe we ever saw the output of bsdlabel and fdisk on ad0 - can you send that please?
