You probably intalled the standard boot blocks, or the booteasy ones.
I usually install the standard ones (allowing the install to over write
my System Commander setup).  Since it is quite easy to reintall SC and it
finds most of my previous config, its not a big deal to me.  Otherwise,
select "do not write boot blocks" or what ever the real words are.  Then
after the install, reboot and at the SC prompt enter setup to add
FreeBSD.
