I'm just guessing here, as I've never seen that problem or used a BIOS with that feature, but I suspect that it has somehow confused the FreeBSD installer so that it has the same disk number for both F1 and F5 (obviously, I suppose). You can probably fix it by getting the FreeBSD running and using "boot0cfg" which allows you to set the disk IDs explicitly. I never know exactly what values to use, and you'll be even more in the dark with that BIOS feature, but you could try the numbers suggested by the "boot0cfg" manual and then try them swapped. If you first try doesn't work, you BIOS feature will probably save you, or you can boot using the normal install floppies. (Learn the commands for booting first.)
