I have the same or similar problem, only that both my hard drives are

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
The boot loader gives me two options F1 FreeBSD and F5 Unknown but
chosing either will boot FreeBSD?
F5 is "next disk". There are only 4 slices that FreeBSD can
theoretically boot from (F1-F4) and F5 moves you on to whatever the next
disk is (and on the last disk moves you back to the first). I suggest
that F5 is actually doing nothing, and that the loader just times out
and boots from the FreeBSD disk, probably because you have not installed
the FreeBSD boot loader on the Windows disk.
