I'm having the same problem ... followed the instructions at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#WIN95-DAMAGED-BOOT-MANAGER
 and did "Fixit# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0" from the 4.6 CD "live filesystem".  Now 
on reboot I get
F3 = DOS
F4 = FREEBSD

  If I choose "F4" I get nothing but a beep.  If I choose "F3" it boots into windows.  
Any suggestions?

Respectfully,

Mark
