Now the problem is that the BSD boot manager can't recognize NTFS so it does not know what to add in the F1 so it adds ???. A few days ago some guys in the list discuss the topic in how to fix it, but it is difficult. I recommend 2 things. 1.-you can install a boot manager like GRUB(/usr/ports/sysutils/grub). It is a really great boot manager. 2.-Use Windows XP boot manager to boot FreeBSD, search in the list archives for the thread.
