Forgot to ask you...have you tried installing Pfsense on this PC/Server using an ATA Hard drive? you should test that, in order to agree there isn' any issue with your ATA controller in FreeBSD by the way, the same embeded install directions goes for alix/soekeris devices, so if you tested in a normal PC/Server it should work without any issue on the embeded side.
