Are these problems related to the new-ness of my mobo and chipset or am I just doing something wrong? Is there a work around for the problem?

I want to dedicate the entire disk to the freebsd installation.

Try using MS-DOS' FDISK to create your partitions, and see whether FreeBSD recognizes the geometry better. You can either change the partition type from FAT to UFS, or else perhaps create a ~20 MB DOS partition and try to install FreeBSD in the remaining space.

[ For that matter, make sure that you've disabled any boot sector virus checking or protection in the system BIOS. ]
