HDD disappiered

[CARTER Anthony]

Why did you flash your BIOS?  FreeBSD won't have caused this, but I reckon 
that the flash did...Did you make a backup of your EEPROM before flashing the 
new one? If so, reflash with your old one and see if HD comes back. Then 
check for a new BIOS (if a prob with BIOS, it would probably have already 
been updated). Also, your BIOS download might have got corrupted...so try 
downloading a fresh copy before trying to flash to new bios again...
