I am missing some context, but for me ad4 refers to the first drive on an add-on card. (ad0,1 -> Primary IDE controller, ad2,3 -> Secondary IDE controller) handbook reference: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.htm= l (Rule out the situation described in: 2.6.1 BIOS Drive Numbering) Your hardware in newer than mine: you have only one PATA port and 2 SATA ports. While having your drive labeled as ad4 strikes me as weird, I don't have enough BSD experience to know if it is a symptom of a problem or not. (I know my drive is on ad4 because the on-board controllers are slower than my add-on card. After a BIOS update booting is no problem. (I initially tried to forcibly disable the on-board controller: now, I ignore it.)) Do you think you may have come across an installer bug? If so, I suspect we will need more information about exactly what you were trying to do.
