I haven't really gotten around installing FreeBSD on either my AlBook
or my mini, but:
What does OS X diskutil say in comparison? Here's the output from my
mini:
euterpe:~$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Apple_partition_scheme *37.3 GB disk0
1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS euterpe 37.1 GB disk0s3
