Some controller BIOSen have been known to peek at the DOS partition table,
and it may be jumping off into space if its seeing half a table from one
disk, or something like that. These actions should blow away any bogus
underlying data.
I can't try any of these things since I don't have any spare hard disks or
much time :(
The disks I have used have been fresh from the maker so they shouldn't have
any trace of FreeBSD on them anyway.
I will have a look at these today.
