Both my EIDE controllers are on the motherboard. What I did do was try the 2.1G drive on the first controller all by itself. The BIOS also failed to autodetect it there. I did not try to install FreeBSD into that configuration. And, again, Linux detects the third EIDE drive just fine when its connected to the second controller, with several filesystems mounted from logical partitions within the extended partition on that drive. So I'm satisfied that I don't have a hardware problem.
