I know FreeBSD will spit out all kinds of weird errors when the
drives aren't jumpered properly, it's really annoying how a bios
will not even complain when things are mis-wired and happily boot
you into a broken system. 

You could be correct about it being off though, checking both would
be a good idea as well as your previous suggestion about adding

options ATAPI
options ATAPI_STATIC

to the kernel, good call.
