I would say, and this is just a guess, that the bios doesn't recognise
it as a bootable device or it is unable to find/use the boot block?

HiThank's for the reply. In fdisk I just said A and then S to set
bootable before W to write it out. I did change /etc/fstab to da1s1a
and da1s1d. When I do fdisk after mounting it it says 
device /mnt/boot/mbr is not character special. Info from dos bootblock;
   data for partition 1,2,3,4 is unused.
  I'll try putting small dos partition first.
   Thank's
   Damon

Hi
   presario r3000 amd64 freebsd-current 7.0
   ad0: 76319MB Hitachi DK23FA-80
   da0 HP Digital drive 1.00  Removable direct access SCSI -0 Device
   dual XP/FreeBSD with easy boot
   used sysinstall to configure da0 as entire freebsd
  da0s1a  /tmp  390MB
  da0s1d  /tmp/usr 600MB
   used gtar to transfer / to /mnt
transfer /usr to /mnt/usr  (Cheat Sheet)
   usb bootable (bios) shows
F1 ?  (win)
F2 Freebsd
F5 Drive 1
  But will not boot . I did same thing on desktop with a second hard drive
and it booted fine. Is it because memory card is not really a hard drive?
Any way to do it ?
   Thank's
  Damon
  and thank's so much for freebsd (my whole life)
