The problem is not the MBR but is the boot manager. Now the problem is that the BSD boot manager can't recognize NTFS so it does not know what to add in the F1 so it adds ???. A few days ago some guys in the list discuss the topic in how to fix it, but it is difficult. I recommend 2 things. 1.-you can install a boot manager like GRUB(/usr/ports/sysutils/grub). It is a really great boot manager. 2.-Use Windows XP boot manager to boot FreeBSD, search in the list archives for the thread.
