The problem is more basic, maybe/probably in sysinstall:

So: kernel probes see the disk allright, but sysinstall doesnot. Long shot:
might this be because the CAMified FreeBSD/axp uses /dev/da disk names,
whereas sysinstall still expects /dev/sd ?? Mind you, I have not checked
the sysinstall code yet. Maybe sysinstall is not even supposed to do
anything useful on axp yet.
About the NetBSD remark: I first installed Freebsd/axp when there was not
yet a working Freebsd boot floppy out there. So, the harddisk still has the
NetBSD boot bits on it. This should not prevent sysinstall from finding the
disks I'd say. The kernel did find 'm after all.
