i have a similar setup but am using win2k's bootloader to boot freebsd.
assuming freebsd is on 2nd primary partition, try this:-
1. boot into freebsd
2. su to root
3. dd if=/dev/rad0s2a of=/dev/fd0/freebsd.pbr bs=512 count=1
4. restart to win2k
5. copy a:\freebsd.pbr to c:\
6. edit boot.ini (remove hidden & read attrib) and add to last line
as follows:-
C:\freebsd.pbr="FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE"
