yeah, i have BIOS in AUTO, I was able to boot to the harddrive with a
cdrom by using 0:da(0,a)/kernel, but the harddrive's boot0 booter
couldn't boot it on its own.
Since I can boot to it, the BIOS should have correct setting for the
drive right? I dunno...
I only have FreeBSD on this harddrive, maybe I can just get rid of the
booter? I have no idea how to do that though... I guess that shoudln't
be hard to lookup...
still, it's weird that it stopped working all the sudden.

Did you check the HD parameters in the BIOS? I seem to recall this
happening when the geometry is entered (or detected) incorrectly.
