One thing which might help is if you clear out all the old booteasy boot 
records before you try and install freebsd again.
For dos/win you would boot into dos and use the following
FDISK /MBR
do this on all of your drives (I think..)
this will write a new clean master boot record to the HD.
I think you have installed booteasy on a drive which already has it 
installed which has bitten me before.
