More details please! 
How many hard drives do you have, and where did you try to install FreeBSD.

You may just have clobbered your MBR so boot up with a DOS floppy and try :

fdisk /MBR 

Then check you DOS partitions with fdisk.
If this doesn't work, you probably deleted your dos partition when you used the
partition editor in sysinstall. Luckily you did make a backup of your c drive before
installing FreeBSD ;)

Feel free to reply with more details if you still have problems
