Howdy,
Unlike some other forums, the -newbies list here is not for questions,
it's for discussing new user experiences. You should have asked this in
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, but since the answer is so easy ...

Our boot loader requires a little more access to your disk than your
multi-boot thingy is giving it. You might be able to find a workaround by
posting the details to -questions, but it sounds like you should give our
boot manager a try. It's not pretty, but it works quite well. :)
