problem booting up to FreeBSD 6.
I did a complete, fresh install from the CD and made sure to also
configure the FreeBSD boot manager for MBR. Everything should be working
but I still can't boot up

I installed 5.4 on a second drive and I realize now the boot manager I
installed is on the second drive and not loaded in the MBR of my Primary
