It sounds like you want 'boot0'.  Boot your system into FreeBSD (that should
be simple for you right now ;) and log in as root. Execute the command:
"boot0inst wd0"
thne
"/bin/sync;reboot"

When the system comes back up it should display something like:

F1  DOS
F2  FreeBSD

F1   <--- This says that F1 is the default if you don't do anything.

If you wait a few seconds it will just do the default entry for you.  It 
saves the default each time you go, so if you boot into FreeBSD and then
reboot (remotely or something) it will boot into FreeBSD again.  Same for
Win9x.
