FreeBSD is the secondary slave, disk one is primary master,

I've tried re-installing it, and installing the boot manager,
but when I boot the machine the FreeBSD boot loader just
comes up with gibberish ...

	F1 FreeBSD
	F5 Drive 1

or

	F1 ????
	F5 Drive 0

WTF.

Totally confused.  I can boot into Windows 2000, but no 
way of booting into the FreeBSD disk.
