You are probably looking in the wrong place for a partition table.
Try this:

	# fdisk /dev/ad1

Are you using the disk in ``dangerously dedicated mode''?
Otherwise your partition table of /dev/ad1 should show some slice,
like /dev/ad1s1 and your BSD filesystems should have names like
/dev/ad1s1a, /dev/ad1s1d, etc.

What other disks are on your system?
If this is your only disk, why is BSD on /dev/ad1 and not on /dev/ad0?
