i've opened the case and checked the cables and jumpers
everything seemed ok to me 
but i've mentioned before my poor hardware knowledge
now i simply don't know what to do
i'll just have to copy everything from the cdrom onto a dos or ext2 partition
the truth is that i'm havins doubts about using freebsd

regards,	
	anton
