Rebuilding your kernel will do the trick. The problem exists with the defaul disks that are placed off of your secondary IDE controller. If you don't have any disks off of it, remove them from the kernel config and rebuild. By saying IDE disks exist when they don't, FreeBSD tries to probe for them, and the timeout is pretty long. Only include the disks (cdroms) that you have attached to your controllers.
