Seems to have something to do with the LBA 2 gig drive. The 4 gig seagate
i just installed worked. Setup 2 partitions 1-100 1-3900 meg. 
Perhaps Freebsd (unlike BSDi) doesn't like LBA? I'm just curious as i
figgered with the bsdi experience i had the kernels would act pretty much
the same, and i know for a fact the same partitioning scheme would have
yielded a good result with BSDi 2.1
