Hmm, this looks like a complicated issue.
The external (usb) hard drive have the 7.0-current snapshot on
partition 1 (da0s1) and 6.2-beta1 on partition 2 (da0s2). On another
machine (a desktop AMD machine which normally runs FreeBSD 6.1-stable
(amd64) I can boot the first partition (da0s1), but if I try to boot
the second partition, it just beeps. I'll have to do more tests.
