cannot boot freebsd

[Jesús Abidan]

no idea...

the machine had only one hard drive(PATA), then  i plugged a new sata
HD(freebsd style), with information on it. The PATA drive is cofigured as
the primary disk, and the sata in bios it says is in PORT 0.

I'll try removing the SATA disk and install freebsd, maybe is the jumper
configuration.
