It sounds as if FreeBSD is beyond the point where it will boot. As the tutorial to which Alfred Perlstein referred you notes, the / partition needs to be entirely within, as I recall, the first 1024 cylinders. You now have three partitions. Add a primary of 100 megabyes after C and before the extended and put FreeBSD / there, and put the rest of it after the extended partition as another freebsd partition. At least that's one way to do it.
