It (the NetBSD boot loader) also boots OpenBSD fine from an external
hard drive, see http://tingox.googlepages.com/as5672_openbsd

However, when I try to boot FreeBSD 6.2-beta2 (installed on slice 3 on
that external usb hard drive), it fails again.

Is there a problem somewhere in the initial boot of FreeBSD which makes
boot from an usb hard drive impossible?
