I actually only have one partition and a swap partition, here are fdisk
and disklabel outputs, and it's an IDE drive. thanks!

    Make sure you've got boot0 on the primary master (assuming IDE) or
    da0 (SCSI) and on no other drives.  Booting from one boot manager
    on the BIOS boot disk to boot0 on another drive hasn't worked well
    in my experience.

    Also, make sure FreeBSD's idea of your drive geometry matches what
    the BIOS thinks.  Posting disklabel and 'fdisk -s' output might
    help.  (The fixit CD is your friend here.)
