The motherboard is from "American Megatrends Corp" and it runs Award
Bios.
I am pasting below info from dmesg below:-

---------------------
sector 63 is where the first partition starts.
Both discs work perfectly in windows XP and the -and if there was a
cable/hw [roblem it would have shown during their functioning under
windows xp.
pl. let me know if you need any more info from the system.

I was replying to both you and Andrew R. Andrew mentioned the hw may
be unstable.
I did enter the same values provided by BIOS -but it doesn't solve
the problem.
Most likely, the bios on my motherboard is not compaible with
freebsd.

In fact FreeBSD bypasses BIOS and interacts directly
with a disk controller. Could you tell us the exact vendor
and make of your motherboard. It's an interesting case.
Thanks,
