In the hardware notes at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/relnotes-i386.html it states that the following SiS chipsets are known to work: SiS 530, 540, 620 SiS 630, 633, 635, 645, 730, 733, 735, 740, 745, 750 SiS 5591 ATA100 which doesn't mention your particular model. Normally since a very similar one is mentioned there would be a reasonable chance yours would work too. However, it seems that other people are having the same problem you are --- http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=aodat1%242q1p%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain and there is no mention of 'SiS 648' in the 4-STABLE kernel sources as of yesterday, so I think you've unfortunately bought an unsupported motherboard. Try asking your vendor if they will swap it for an alternative model --- I think the Asus P4B533 is supported, and that looks compatible with the rest of your components.
