If you're on amd64, try the daily image, as it's based on kfreebsd
8.2. Otherwise try an upstream kernel image (e.g. from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.2-RELEASE/kernels/).
Don't expect it to work when combined with D-I but at least we'll
know if your boot problem is fixed there.
Or you could even try FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 installer
(http://www.freebsd.org/where.html#helptest). If that works, we can
probably adjust the Debian one without much difficulty.
