Nero seems to have "helped" you by making a bootable CD with a copy of
the FreeBSD ISO file on it. The A: disk is actually a simulated floppy
on the CD.
That's not going to work. Make a new CD. Back in Windows, you might be
able to right-click the original ISO file and get a "Burn a CD" option.
Otherwise, you'll have to run the program and tell it to make the ISO
into a CD, not make a CD with the ISO on it as a file.

In Nero version 6 it's Recorder / Burn Image and just before you click
Burn you have to select whether you are writing a CD or a DVD.
