I had a similar problem, on a newish Dell PC (less than a year old) with a
16 GB drive. I had a 13 GB Win98 partition followed by a 3 GB FreeBSD
partition, and I was unable to boot FreeBSD. What I did: wipe out FreeBSD
partition; use Partition Magic 4.0 to move the Win98 partition to the end
of the disk; reinstall FreeBSD in the newly empty 3 GB partition at the
front of the disk. Now both FreeBSD and Win98 boot OK.
