I had a similar issue, and from memory it was the cable. For instance
you probably need an 80 pin cable, or your current cable may have
something wrong with it (happens eventually with all the twisting
etc). Also check that master/slave/primary/secondary is all correct
etc.

Mayby you have an unsuported controller, here is an example of a controller
that doesn't work under 6.0 but fine in 5.4:

Hi, I was trying to install FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT in my box but when I do it... 
Usually my hard drive make a strange noise... and the screen show DMA problems 
(ok, it may be the hard drive)... but... I change my hard drive and I take one 
more time problems with the hard drive... (ok, it may be the hard drive, the 
second hard drive that is broke... maybe)... I take a third hard drive and have 
the same problem... but... I don't know If is possible to have bad luck to put 
3 hard drivers brokens... . Anyone is having problems with FreeBSD and Seagate 
hard drives?
