--- Comment #7 from Michael Osipov <michaelo@FreeBSD.org> ---
No need, there seems to be a boot device mixup. The boot drive is 0, but
FreeBSD is trying to boot from drive 1.

See

Your crappy BIOS is messing up the drives, IMHO. Look at currdev/rootdev in
loader.conf. For reference check /boot/defaults/loader.conf. You can force to
boot from drive 1.
