Hmmm. Odd. That's worked for me on FreeBSD-4.11, 6.1, 7.2, and 8.1 (both i386
and amd64).

What's the output of:
	uname -spr

Also, after completing the dd(1) command, what's the output of:
	fdisk -p /dev/da5

It should look something like this:

	# /dev/da5
	g c31 h64 s32
	p 1 0x17 1 64259
	a 1

Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all contents)
prior to trying again:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5

I once had a thumb drive that had slackware on it that needed to be "zapped" in
the above manner before it worked properly.
