It seems to be that the motherboard probably does not support booting from cd as was common with older systems. A side note, I got the same error on a p4 board yesterday because there was not boot device (bad mbr). I would try a boot floppy to get the system to access the cd-rom or install freebsd on the hard drive from another machine and swap it to the 486.
I don't have a CD-ROM drive on the 486. That is exactly what I have tried. I've put the HDD in another machine, installed FreeBSD, moved the HDD, then tried to boot. I've even tried 2 "standard" MBRs. Try a boot manager? Nah..
