While it is not significantly better understood by me, I have good luck running 3.1-STABLE on an HP OmniBook 4100 by using ntldr (with "stock" M$ boot blocks) chaining to FreeBSD with C:\boot2="FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE" added to boot.ini (This also gets around the BIOS limitation on boot partition location!)
