Hard to know, but you can help us:
What is your configuration? What type of disks do you have? How are they 
partitioned? How did you install FreeBSD? Did you have *any* error 
messages during installation? What are the *exact* messages you receive 
while booting?

Have you by any chance installed FreeBSD on a secondary EIDE disk (master 
on the second channel)? Do you have both an EIDE and a SCSI disk?
