One of my machines will do this if I have no devices on any one of the IDE
channels.  For example, if I take my CD-ROM out, then the second IDE
channel is empty and FreeBSD will pause for a moment when detecting the
hard drives on boot.  This only happens with one of my machines.  The
motherboard on that is a Asus P3V133 (I think) with a VIA Apollo MVP3
chipset.  Maybe it is a small issue with some/all VIA chipsets?
