In case anyone else hitting this bug needs some help... the MBR can be easily
fixed by booting from the FreeBSD install disk and running the "fixit"
shell. From the shell run: fdisk -i /dev/yourdrive (yourdrive being
something like da0, ad0, amr0, etc)
Accept all of the defaults (ie. don't make any changes) until it prompts you
to set the "active" slice. Say yes to that. It will show you all of your
FreeBSD partitions (165) as active. And you probably want the default it
offers (slice 1).
When fdisk finishes, reboot.
(The MBR can be fixed a bunch of other ways, with other software, as well, but
the above method was what I found simplest and quickest.)
