Subject:   "No disks found!" when installing 4.3 on Thinkpad

I'm installing FreeBSD 4.3 on a Thinkpad 600 (which according to the
laptop compatibility list works great with FBSD), and when I try to make a
partition I get the "No disks found!" message.  Strangely enough it sees
the cdrom, so the problem isn't with the ATA interface in general.

During the install I go into UserConfig and disable everything but ATA (I
compared IRQ and I/O settings with Windows and they match), floppy, serial
& parallel ports, keyboard, ps/2, syscons, pccard and math-co.  Here are
the pertinent statements during boot:

ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata0-master: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr
ata0-master: identify failed
acd0: CDROM <CRN-8241B> at ata0-slave useing PIO4

Any ideas?  Does anyone think I should risk upgrading the BIOS?  I'm
pretty desperate since I just bought this thing used specifically for
FreeBSD...
