I had this same problem when I re-installed 5.3 replacing 4.10 in
the second partition on the master HD. When I reformatted HD so
FreeBSD was on first partition and ms/win was on second partition,
problem went a way and the default boot manager worked fine after
that. This problem seems to be caused by the new boot sequence code
in 5.x.  If above solution works for you please submit bug report on
it.
