You are missing a boot manager. You have many choices there, but the
most basic one that comes with FreeBSD is called BootEasy, and can be
installed in the following way:

1. Boot *real* DOS (win95 DOS mode might not work).
2. Run the bootinst.exe utility from the tools directory on the CD/ftp
site.
3. reboot
