FreeBSD won't have caused this, but I reckon that the flash did...Did you make a backup of your EEPROM before flashing the new one? If so, reflash with your old one and see if HD comes back. Then check for a new BIOS (if a prob with BIOS, it would probably have already been updated). Also, your BIOS download might have got corrupted...so try downloading a fresh copy before trying to flash to new bios again...
