 I get the same error trying to boot either a USB flash stick or a USB hard=

 drive on one of my machines (a quad-core c2d). It's a FreeBSD 7 system on=20
 both, but one of the boot0cfg installed blocks come from a 7 system and the=

 other from a 6.1 or 6.2 (I do not remember which - this was months ago that=
  I=20
 initially created it).
 
 In the case of the USB flash stick, the exact same stick is bootable on my=

 ThinkPad T40p laptop.
 
 Interestingly, even though both the stick and the drive are sliced (fdisk -=
 BI=20
 device), no slice/partition (whatever you prefer) is visible when booting a=
 =20
 grub CD and tab-completing the hard drives. That is, the drives (the flash=
 =20
 stick and the USB hard drive respectively) are visible, but grub does not=20
 feel they contain a slice).
 
 Could the BTX problem be a result of whatever it is that is causing the sli=
 ces=20
 to be invisible from what I presume to be the BIOS perspective?
