Laptop stuck at bios splash again :-( .(chunk 'ad1s4 ; ad1s2 ,ad1s3 does not start on a track boundary : install issue)

[Mubeesh ali]

It seems like i am awfully unlucky :-( ,getting two bad HDDs in a row
or iam doing something terribly wrong.

With my new HDD ;installed ubuntu and this time  installed PC bsd  not
freebsd ,in a separate partition.

It booted up once into PC bsd,life was good  and then from next reboot
.it is stuck at bios splash.
As Bruce from this list commented to an earlier mail(not booting after
freebsd install) ,i am assuming my bios (INSYDE bios) doesn't like
freebsd partitions or freebsd in combination with ubuntu ?
