Subject: How to make SCSI disk boot easy?

I saw this discussion before, but I did not pay attention to it because
I make it works before.  I do not know why it is not stable now.
When I installed FreeBSD on a SCSI disk (sd0), it is rarely bootable.
That is, if I install it 10 times, it may work once.
The error is:

Error: C:0 H:0 S:0
Error: C:0 H:0 S:0
Error: C:0 H:0 S:0

It looks the boot block is no installed properly.  The disklabel -B sd0
will not help.  Is there an easy way to resolve it?

Thanks for help,
