I just checked what happens in the install boot disk, and I get the following:

ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0
ata1 at port 0x170-1x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0

and it recognizes the two ad devices:
ad0: 1033MB <WDC AC31000F> [2100/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO
ad1: 4112MB <WDC AC14300R> [8912/15/63] at ata0-slave BIOSPIO
acd0: CDROM <E-IDE CD-ROM CR-840S> at ata1-slave BIOSPIO

hmmm....  any ideas?
