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.)
