Hello,

you have to install the FreeBSD bootmanager on at least the first
primary disk **and** the FreeBSD boot disk (there is a bootinst.exe file
in the \tools direcory just for this purpose)

Then, you will have a menu while booting :
F1 : DOS
F5 : disk2

press F5 and you will be able to boot FreeBSD.

	TfH
