Although your motherboard seems different, you may be experiencing the
problem described in:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?450BD996.8090104 (and referenced

Please try one of the 6.2 BETA at the page below (even the bootonly
mini-image): if it is the same problem it will recognize your disks.
