Toshiba Tecra A4-S211

Anybody installed freebsd successfully on this machine or on something
similar? I am having trouble with any version on this laptop. On
Freebsd 6.2it doesn't go through with the installation saying that no
hard disks
detected. Booting with acpi disabled installs it but it doesn't boot. On 7
current it installs even with acpi enabled but it still doesn't boot.
Removing the disk and connecting it to a desktop running freebsd causes the
system to freeze while recognizing the hard drive. Connecting it to a debian
system it shows that there is indeed a bsd partition on it. It's the second
drive I tried.
