Can only boot in safe mode - FreeBSD 5.4

mode. It worked fine then as the boot manager that 4.11 had put there was still there. Yet I can still only boot in safe mode. Now I know that safe mode disables ACPI, the APIC, ATA and ATAPI DMA, ATA write caching, and all EISA devices. So I figure that it is something here that is my problem. When

Hello, I've got a 40 GBytes hard disk on an old Pentium MMX 266 MHz. The first time I plugged it into the motherboard my BIOS didn't recognize the drive, but fortunately there is a jumper that reduces the size of the disk to 32 GBytes, and that's enough for my BIOS at this moment. So I've got

Can FBSD boot off a Promise IDE card?

I just reinstalled 5.1, I have two hard drives on a Promise IDE ULTA100 PCI card. When installing, FBSD recognizes the IDE card and the drives just fine, but it doesn't boot. I set my BIOS to boot from a SCSI device, but it just hangs - FBSD menu doesn't come up at all. Thanks.
