Hmm... since you listed "disk1" and "disk0" before, do you have two
hard disks? If so, it is possible that the "hd" OF alias is not
picking the correct disk where you installed FreeBSD.

What is the output of the "devalias hd" command in OF, and what type
of disks are "disk0" and "disk1" (ATA, USB, etc.) ?


Regards,
Marco.
