--- Comment #7 from Michael Osipov <michaelo@FreeBSD.org> ---
No need, there seems to be a boot device mixup. The boot drive is 0, but
FreeBSD is trying to boot from drive 1.

See

and

Your crappy BIOS is messing up the drives, IMHO. Look at currdev/rootdev in
loader.conf. For reference check /boot/defaults/loader.conf. You can force to
boot from drive 1.
