I had the exact same problem on a machine at work. What I eventually
did was go to the -CURRENT boot blocks (just the boot blocks, the rest
of the system is 3.2-STABLE). They give many more options, some really
|<00l options too, and solved my 'Disk 0' problem.
Robert Nordier, one of the developers, has the new blocks at,
http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot0.tar.gz
And thanks again to Robert for helping me with my problems and his
work for FreeBSD.
