Fully repartitioned a 3815M hard drive and installed FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE with a good, error free install, disk dedicated to FBSD wincrud et al running on disk zero, 514M. Half of the Boot Manager works. F1 boots win, F5 just gives F5 again, repeatedly. Read the docs, read the FAQ, tried everything: Deliberately reinstalled win to wipe out the boot manager, then in DOS: bootinst.exe boot.bin with success. Have done it the second way: boot install floppy, custom installation, partition, write, MBR, also successul. Same result. Made a fixit floppy: Did disklabel -B /dev/wd0s1 (wd0s1 correct) which returns "Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)". Any suggestions from anywhere would be greatly appreciated. $ms is in for a final and complete divorce when this box is up and running.
