I believe the machine is EFI/ UEFI capable, but I run it in BIOS mode.
When I boot the machine, it attempts to network boot -- e.g. the BIOS
can't find (or use) a bootable disk partition. I have confirmed that
the BIOS setup is configured to boot in the order optical, HDD,
removable, network.
When I look at the HDD using Debian GNU/Linux 7:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The
util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

I assume the FreeBSD installer put a protective MBR partition table on
the disk. Note that fdisk reports that the boot bit is not set on the
first and only partition.
Any suggestions?
