No, it has no problems at all booting FreeBSD. Why not try Grub, the XP bootloader if you like, gag if you want - and see which you prefer. What someone else likes may not be your preference, after all. Read the documentation for each bootloader (and Google, Google Groups, FBSD FAQ, etc.) *thoroughly* before you do anything. A temporarily unbootable machine is a hassle at best and costly at worst if you can't figure out on your own how to restore it to bootable condition.
