I think you are dividing the disk up to soon. You only divide ad0 into ad0s1(w2k) and ad0s2(ufs). Then in the FBSD disk labeler you make /, swap, /usr, /tmp, etc.... So to recap it seems you have made ad0s1, ad0s2, ad0s3, and ad0s4 and the boot loader asks which you what to boot from. So there is no /usr(I guess) on ad0s2, you put it on ad0s3. Print out the steps from the handbook if you need to.
