A hard problem you got there. If at least one other OS doesn't have a problem with your hardware, then I think you're safe in assuming that there's an OS kernel problem, whether by design or coding bug.
Theoretically, it should be reported in a formal PR where it won't get lost, especially if you strike out on freebsd-bugs. (I was about to suggest that you take it to freebsd-current and/or freebsd-stable, like I do with such problems, but on second thought, it seems like that is what freebsd-bugs is for and -current & -stable should probably be reserved for other things. Nobody's complained, but I seldom get a satisfactory resolution to tough problems like this; usually I wind up with different hardware or software. Hmmm.) I can't even guess what the problem might be, but can you (or do you not want to) work around it? Maybe I missed something, but doesn't FreeBSD let you specify geometry when it matters. It usually just uses sector numbers and it gets the size of the disks out of the disk labels. Maybe that's true only when not using slices and a boot loader. For that, you need a boot loader that can deal with your hardware, but that shouldn't be hard, even if you can't use FreeBSD's.
