Good enough. :)

Your firmware (presumably the SCSI controller) isn't compatible
with the boot code.  It's trying to take over the whole machine at
a really fundamental level, and the software that hosts the boot
code isn't prepared to give up that much control.

You could submit a problem report (PR) for this, though I doubt
there's likely to be anything that can be done about it immediately.

One workaround would be to install FreeBSD 3.0R (which uses older
boot code) and then upgrade to 3.2 without doing a reinstall.
