I'm having a quite similar problem, but I have to suppose that the
num_ide-thingie won't help.
My home-system purely scsi-based with two disks (2 x IBM DDRS 9 GB);
the disks are partitioned^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hsliced like this:

I'm used to boot the system by the NT BootLoader (since fbsdboot chokes
on vm86 ...). The (freebsd) root filesystem lives on da1s1a.
Both bsd-slices are disklabeled to the new blocks, too.
I made an entry in the NT boot.ini for the new fbsd bootblock and
the system boots. ... But the new boot block gives the warning
'no ufs' first. It seems to me, that the boot-code just tries to make
use of the first partitions in the first found freebsd-slice (da0s3)
for going on. (e.g. looking for /boot/* )
Since the da0s3b partition is a swap-partition, .... this approach
has to fail ...
Any hints?
Kind regards and tia,
Andreas
