Currently the cdrom drive and yes it works fine till 10 with the legacy
ATA stack. Verbose boot doesn't give out any errors or logs beside
what's shown in the picture I have attached with the first email.

Was this working in a previous version and if so which one and what
was the verbose boot log from it?

Hello Kevin,
thanks for your clarification. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that the
T40 and *4's line used a SATA-PATA convertor and especially that was
going to clash with the new ATA stack in FreeBSD. Either OpenBSD and
NetBSD do work out of the box without any hassle, however I'd still
prefer to use FreeBSD on it as I have been using FreeBSD for about 8
years now and I am very comfortable with it.
The question at this point is, is there any hope to see this issue
resolved in the future? Or will I have to give up to the second ATA
channel in order to use FreeBSD?

I had the same problem on an ancient T42p. In my case, disabling
the
second ata channel allowed me to boot.
I added the following line to /boot/device.hints:
hint.ata.1.disabled="1"
This is an annoying side-effect of the brain-dead SATA-PATA
converter in that generation of ThinkPads. The Intel ICH6 chipset is
SATA, but, for reasons known ot IBM/Lenovo, the systems used PATA
drives! So they has a SATA-PATA converter built in that screwed up a
LOT of things, mostly compromising performance and generating
assorted log entries. Looks like that also is broken in modern ATA
support if a drive is not present.
This was always my biggest complaint with this laptop (T42) which I
used for several years until I retired and returned to so it could
be excessed legally as it was government property (and, I didn't
really want it, even if I could have kept it). Not an awful system,
but this one issue was really annoying to me.
