We had a similar experience with Dell's DRAC and FreeBSD 9.1, after 
initial boot and kernel load it wasn't able to mount / from (virtual) 
cd. We ended up using an mfsBSD iso ( http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ ), which 
doesn't mount from cd, but uses an .img loaded as memory disk. Didn't 
try the official bootonly iso or the USB image.

There is no screenshot, list strips attachments.
