:FWIW, FreeBSD 6.0 has no trouble booting from the machine I had this
:problem on.

    With the disks set to 'Auto' mode instead of 'Large' mode?

    There's no real difference between FreeBSD's slice table and ours.  There
    might be a difference with regards to the boot code using packet mode 
    or not (configurable with boot0cfg), but generally speaking we want to
    use packet mode for the greatest compatibility with BIOSes.
