Hi!
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.3-RELASE on Compaq Deskpro 4000 model
5166 (for details see attached file inspectb.txt):

Then I tried to install it:
- with ACPI disabled
- in safe mode / single user mode
- with every valid BIOS configuration/physical setup of drives
- with hw.ata.ata_dma and/or hw.ata.atapi_dma set to 0
- with hw.pci.enable_io_modes set to 0
- after upgrading BIOS (and diagnostic partition)
- with tweaked values hint.ata0.xxx and hint.ata1
- with translating of drive CHS parameters disabled
- without any partitions defined (disk completely cleared)
- with UDMA66 enabled and disabled (also in HDD's firmware)
but I didn't succeed either...

Did you try with the BIOS's "PLUG-N-PLAY OS" set to OFF/NO?
Just a thought.
