I actually did something similar -- if not exactly the same.. the best 
solution that I could come up with was to use BootIt NG 
(http://www.bootitng.com/) to boot the system. That was the only of the 
approximately 15 solutions that I tried that worked.

Now, the PC in question is exclusively FreeBSD, so I don't have to worry 
about it.. but check out BootIt NG.. also, I'd be curious if anyone had 
any luck with other methods..
