	Just tried it as disklabel -B wd0 but no luck... I'm using a 
Western Digital WDAC31600 Caviar EIDE HD in LBA mode under -current and 
in the Booteasy menu, when I hit F2 for FreeBSD, it just redisplays the 
Booteasy menu again in a loop.....  Is there a way I can fix this?

Here is my fdisk wd0 output:

root@bigbang [1:06pm][/usr/home/vince] >> fdisk wd0
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3148 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

 Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3148 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
    start 63, size 1031121 (503 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 785/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 1031184, size 2142000 (1045 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 785/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 785/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:

The data for partition 3 is:
