Looks like the problem was related to BIOS setting.=20

I have changed the setting of disk detection from "AUTO" to "LBA" and =
this has allowed me to boot on the disk.

One more question:=20

With the disk I am using FBSD seems to have two possibility for the =
partition table size (or at least depending on different boot, It is =
offering me sometimes the 1st option and other time the second one):=20

1. 30401 cylinders | 255 heads | 63 sectors=20
2. 484521 cylinders | 16 heads | 63 sectors

Global dis size is 250GB (LBA 488397168)
