System doesn't recognize boot device

I¹m a newbie who assembled a PC. I successfully loaded FreeBSD 6.0 from CD
but at the end of install when the system reboots, it goes thru the start-up
process (the ASUS screen) and finally I get a message saying to use the
proper boot device or insert boot media and try again. I rechecked the BIOS
and sure enough, the striped HD is the first boot device. Any ideas? Thank
you.
 
My system consists of:
 
ASUS P5LD2 motherboard
Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz dual-core
2 x 512 Corsair 667 DDR2 RAM
2 x 80G Western Digital SATA HD configured in RAID 0
NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-RW
Antec case
Targus keyboard
Belkin 3-button optical mouse
