put a freebsd floppy in the diskdrive, when it tries to boot from it,
try this command line at the "boot:" prompt:

0:wd(0,a)kernel

after you boot try this command:

disklabel -B /dev/rwd0

this assumes you only have 1 IDE disk in the machine and FreeBSD is on it.

If this isn't the case then please mail us with more details of how
your harddrives are setup....
