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.
