Hi,
    There are a few things you could try, 

        a) Get OS-BS, an excellent (imo) boot manager that I use myself,
           available from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/osbsbeta.exe
           (Read the docs!)
        or
        b) get bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the same directory to install
           boot easy, run it like: bootinst.exe boot.bin

Good luck,

-Chris
