I am trying to install FreeBSD 8 on a net5501 with an SATA drive and
am having some issues post-install.  I am following the document here:
http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/pxeboot_serial_install_8.html.

The 5501 installs fine, but after the machine reboots after the
install, it can't successfully load FreeBSD.

Here is what I see:

-----

 1 Seconds to automatic boot.   Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor.

F1  FreeBSD

F6 PXE
Boot:  F1
No /boot/loader

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
No /boot/kernel/kernel

-----

I then repeated the installation, but ran the emergency shell before
rebooting to see if I could gather any useful information.  Here's
what I found:

Also, here is the dmesg from the machine when it initially boots
before doing the install:

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?  I would appreciate some help.

Thanks!
