The Abit BE6's 3rd and 4th IDE controllers are not standard IDE controllers, they are HighPoint UltraATA 66 controllers (that's also why every other OS needs drivers to support it too). Therefore they don't get recognized by the standard wdc driver. Look near the top of your dmesg for an ide_pci line. If there isn't one that refers to the HighPoint controllers, FreeBSD won't find them. I saw it mentioned that -current now has support for the HighPoint controller, so you may have to go to that in order to get your 3rd and 4th controllers working.
