Hi!

Set the BIOS to "Not Installed" or somethin' like that. Remove the 32gig 
jumper. If the FreeBSD has a direkt access to the controller it will 
recognize, but of course you can't boot it. Otherwise, you should make 
the slices and partitions on a machine, that fully support your disk. 
Hope the BSD will recognize it.
