The problem is because BIOS cannot access the SCSI disk. With your exisiting hardware you have two choices. The first is to simply use the BIOS setup to disable the IDE drive before you attempt to boot FBSD. The second is to create a small partition on the IDE drive and install '/' as the mountpoint. It may be possible to also do something with a floppy disk, but I have never tried this. My final solution was to totally dedicate the machine to FBSD and put Microsoft on a separate machine.
