I haven't really gotten around installing FreeBSD on either my AlBook  
or my mini, but:

What does OS X diskutil say in comparison? Here's the output from my  
mini:
euterpe:~$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
    #:                   type name               size      identifier
    0: Apple_partition_scheme                    *37.3 GB  disk0
    1:    Apple_partition_map                    31.5 KB   disk0s1
    2:              Apple_HFS euterpe            37.1 GB   disk0s3
