I have a sandisk elite 3 16GB flash card for my 5501.  A 2GB card               
                                           
worked fine, so I'm confident the box is OK.                                    
                                           
                                                                                
                                           
When I boot the 16GB card, I get the geometry printed as LBA xlat 1024--63 
16007MB.  Which seems OK.                       
                                                                                
                                           
But FreeBSD started on sector 16 for slice 1 (ad0s1a begins on 16), and         
                                           
I would've expected it to start on 63.                                          
                                           
                                                                                
                                           
THe problem is the boot loaded, I get the OK: prompt, but it says it            
                                           
can't load kernel.  If I try to ls the /boot directory, it tells me             
                                           
that /boot is not a directory.                                                  
                                           
                                                                                
                                           
Take the CF card out, stick it in my notebook runnign FreeBSD, and yes          
                                           
it is...                                                                        
                                           
                                                                                
                                           
Any suggestions?  I can change it over to not use slices, and just use          
                                           
the whole CF card, no real reason for a slice on a dedicated card I             
                                           
guess...
