OK, now we're getting somewhere:
Code:
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <ST340015A>
This Seagate Barracuda does not have a jumper pin setting for read-only. That, at least, has been ruled out as the cause of your problem.

Here's something to note, though Googling tends to indicate this warning may be ignored. It is produced during PIIX compatibility handling in src/sys/dev/pci/pciide.c, and may be specific to the 82801FB chipset on your server's motherboard:
Code:
pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled)
While in your dmesg, I also note that you are on the last BIOS Dell produced for the SC420 (BIOS A02), and you are apparently running GENERIC at -release+errata. Did you happen to make any local changes to src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC?

Please test with ACPI disabled -- it's a guess, but ACPI compatability issues can sometimes get in the way of proper hardware function. Boot with -c, and at the UKC prompts type "disable acpi" and "quit".
