I tried some more things today since I had a running system. The "disklabel -B ad0s3" works on my system. I can't use the ntldr until I replace the boot record used to boot FreeBSD. Once I copied boot1 to bootsect.bsd, which is what I have in boot.ini, W2K would boot FreeBSD. Having to replace what ntldr was using didn't occur to me until I made the W2K partition the active one and it wouldn't boot FreeBSD. Once I had a matched set, everything was ok.
