Hi Jason- this may not be of any direct help, but could be worth a 
shot.  Looking at your Linux boot messages, it looks like your firmware 
and driver versions are off.  I've seen this cause a fair number of 
issues- you should be able to get a flash disk on IBMs support site, as 
well as the updated Linux driver at least.  I suppose the big question 
is what version of the firmware the BSD driver wants?
