Excellent!  Congrats!  

I'm wondering if there's a special bug in your bios or a feature
needed for freebsd so this non-drive recognition doesn't happen
to others.  What do you think?

Maybe I'm out to lunch, but doesn't linux recognize the drive
geometry even if the bios doesn't get it right?  Seems like
Freebsd should be capable of that too.
