Ok, well I ended up getting this to work.  Basically I took the IDE cable
that I was using for my CD and DVD drives and swapped that one with the
cable that I was using for my hard drives.  Now it works totally fine. 
Really strange, but at least it works.

I seem to recall that there's more than one type of IDE cable.  When I
assembled my FreeBSD server, the manual was very specific about which
cable to use for which devices.

is your cable a 80-conductor IDE/ATA cable?

I'm far from being the expert... But is it possible you have your hard disk
plugged in differently?
From master primary bus to master secondary bus? ad0 to ad3 for example? I'd
look at the boot messages for what is the hard disk being detected as and
compare with what was?

Maybe somebody else has come across this before though and could offer more
insight... But hopefully this can help

You were right.  I accidentally mixed up the primary and secondary IDE
cables.  However, I switched them back and now I am still getting tons of
these errors:
 ad1:  WARNING - READDMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying)

...and I can't boot into FreeBSD.  It just puts me in single user mode.

It almost appears as if my hard drives somehow were damaged when I
switched cases.  However, Windows works just fine.  I tried running fsck
and I still get the errors.  Does anyone have any clue what I can do about
this?

Thanks

I found I had to plug my IDE cables in _upside down_ on one box for the drives 
to be detected. No idea what happened there but it worked so I left it. I do 
now what way up they're supposed to be, I've done plenty of this sort of 
thing before.
Very strange. Maybe the plug was in the motherboard upside down too? I didn't 
investigate in case it stopped working. Good thing IDE have idiot diodes so 
they don't burn up when they're in upside down.
