fdisk -s the disk on a machine that can read it and make sure that the
partitions end on hard head boundaries.  There is a bug in FreeBSD,
introduced recently (just before 4.1R) that causes it to write
somewhat bogus partition tables that some bioses just hate to boot.
Others boot them just fine.

Yes, patches are being reviewed right now, and should hit the tree
soonish.

Just a thought.
