You don't mention what version of freebsd you're using, but if you
are using 3.0 or higher the actual place to rebuild the boot blocks is
/sys/boot. The rest of /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/README.serial applies
though.

Why do you think that? It's not mentioned in any documentation I
can find. All you should have to do is 'make all install clean' in
/sys/boot and then reboot.
Good luck,
Doug
