Yes, I followed this article and set everything to MAX PIO. It still
doesn't work and it's very annoying. BTW, to do give Dfly credit I
have to say that installing the latest FreeBSD version gives the same
error.
Does FreeBSD-4 have the same issue?

This is a really embarassing bug for a modern operating system
to have. Of all things, the bootloader should be the most stable. And
the computer is not that old either. It's a P4 and both Linux and
Windows work on it like charm.
As long as there is nobody finding and fixing the bug, it will stay.  That's the concept of open source.  So if you find the bug, I will be happy to commit the fix.
