ata1-slave: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out

[Understudy]

Hi all,

I have a Thinkpad A21m running FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE. I have a dvd/cd-rom 
and I am getting this message when I boot up.

ata1-slave: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
ata1-slave: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
ata1-slave: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
acd0: DVDROM <HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-S200/0034> at ata1-master PIO4

I have look through Google and some of the mailing lists but I have not 
seen a definitive answer.  If someone has one or can point me in the 
right direction, I would appreciate it,

Sincerely,
Brendhan
