Or look at GAG (free graphical bootloader, automagic), Grub (in ports,  
very configurable, requires reading the documentation closely but will  
teach you a lot about bootloaders), use FreeBSD's own bootloader (not  
fancy, but it works), or one of the other solutions mentioned in the  
extensive mailing list discussions I mentioned you might want to  
search/read.  :)
