I finally tried again to track down that booting problem with FreeBSD via Super Grub Disk with kfreebsd.
I also tried, unsuccessfully, the menu choice "Detect any operating system".
That failed for failure to find commands "freebsd" and "frebsd-loadenv".
In the latter command, "frebsd-loadenv" was apparently misspelled; I copy what I saw.
When I tried to boot by kfreebsd, I got a prompt (OK) and lsdev produced
cd devices:
disk devices:
disk0 BIOS drive A:
disk0s1: Unknown
disk1: BIOS drive C:
disk2: BIOS drive D:
disk2p1: FreeBSD boot
disk2p2: FreeBSD UFS
disk2p3: FreeBSD swap
disk3: BIOS drive E:
disk3p1: FreeBSD boot
disk3p2: FreeBSD UFS
disk3p3: FreeBSD swap
pxe devices:
OK
So I assume disk2 and disk3 are USB sticks, disk1 is Western Digital Caviar Green 3 TB SATA hard drive, and disk0 is Western Digital My Book Essential 3 TB USB 3.0 hard drive, GPT-partitioned.
So the loader (?) missed out on disk0 and disk1
I can repeat what uname -a shows:
