When booting on an ASUS A7V133 (with KT-133A chipset, chip V82C686B), system hangs 
during boot most times. A few times system doesn't hangs.

The controller usually hangs when showing these messages:

...do /kernel: ad4: 57259MB <MAXTOR 6L060J3> [116336/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100

If no devices are attached to the on-board, chipset build-in ATA controller, system 
hangs EXACTLY when the controller is detected:

        ==> atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA100 controller> at device 4.1 on pci0

DISABLING the VIA ATA-100 controller on BIOS SETUP, the system boots up normally.

The machine is a 900-MHz Athlon, on a ASUS A7V133, one HP CD-RW attached to the 
primary master (VIA ATA controller) and two hard-discs attached to the on-board 
PROMISE controller.

OS is FreeBSD 4.7 (RELEASE), but happens to 5.0, 4.6.2, 4.6, 4.5, and earlier (from 
4.x line).

Any hints?
