Are you using the correct cables? I had a problem when I changed system 
cases and used the wrong cable when I put the drives back in (IDE cable 
instead of a SATA cable) I now have FreeBSD 5.4-p3 booting up fine and 
without error. I think this is a common problem, where people forget 
about the minor details(I am sure we are all guilty of this at some time)
