Thank you very much for your suggestion Krzysztof. That was my
plan B, as it looked rather complicated.

I created a 248MB virtual disk, installed FreeBSD on it via QEMU
and then dd it to the USB memory stick. I was able to boot my X40
from this stick, devices were recognized, everything looked great.
So I run sysinstall and started FTP installation to ThinPad disk's
second slice.

I don't know exactly what went wrong, but after reboot there was
no FreeBSD on any slice of ad0 :) I'll try my luck tomorrow.
