The problem is, that I can't boot from CD. This notebook has no CD-ROM,
I installed FreeBSD with USB-Floppy. An installation of 4.11 worked fine,
4.11 has detected the same geometry. Then I did an upgrade to 5.4. Now it
works. I think 5.4 did not write correct boot blocks on my disk. Next time,
when I expect this problem I give boot0cfg a try.

Bye,
