Nvidia (I previously didn't know they made full chipsets) IDE interfaces got broken around FreeBSD 4.3 and at 4.8 they are still not working.. There is however a workaround which is to disable the use of DMA on the devices (in the loader.conf file). if you don't the system hangs during boot.
I have only sporadic access to one, but I don't have one myself which makes it hard to test more.. I have not tested it on 5.x yet..
