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
