The problem is in your BIOS - any PC can't access HDD more than 512Mb in NORMAL or 8Gb in LBA mode throught BIOS. But bootmgr use BIOS! All You have to do is to repartition your drive for the FreeBSD partition was first - then both win98 and FreeBSD would lay in first 8GB. For the detalis read Handbook or "The Complete FreeBSD".
