Is this on a dedicated disk, or are there other bootable OSs there? If yes: The geometry was misdetected. (not likely) If no: Why are you running booteasy? You don't need it if you only have one disk. If you do need it though, reinstall FreeBSD, but this time make a small DOS partition on the disk, delete it, and install FreeBSD over it.
