Do you have a large hard disk, with the FreeBSD root partition outside the first 1024 (logical) disk cylinders? If so, then that is quite likely to be the reason. Possible solutions include reformatting the disk using a different logical geometry, or shuffling the disk partitions so that all data necessary for booting are within the first 1024 logical cylinders. //Raymond.
