>Description:
boot0cfg is aware about "serial number" field in MBR code, gpart(8) is not. If this field is broken, Windows Vista/7 (XP?) doesn't want to boot.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install Windows with MBR partition scheme, 

install FreeBSD without installer like this:

# gpart add -t freebsd ada0
# gpart create -s MBR ada0s3
# bsdlabel -wB ada0s3
# newfs ada0s3a
# mount ada0s3a /mnt
// here unpack FreeBSD distro into /mnt and do initial configuration.
# dd if=/dev/ada0 of=orig.mbr 
# gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/boot0 ada0
# boot0cfg -v ada0

if you do `boot0cfg -Bvb /mnt/boot/boot0` instead of `gpart bootcode` MBR serial will be preserved and windows vista/7 (xp?) will boot correctly.
>Fix:
be aware about MBR serial on MBR partition scheme
