Yes, it will.
But unless the OP wants the specific boot loader from and MS-DOS disk,
he can get the same effect _without_ usinf non-FreeBSD tools by using 
fdisk -B <diskname>

as explained by a few others in this thread.
Obviously, the OP might have to boot from a livefs CD if he can't boot
the system otherwise.
