If you installed the kernel sources on your FreeBSD system, you should
have /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/dosboot/fbsdboot.exe.uu. Uudecode this file,
copy it to a DOS directory, execute fbsdboot.exe -? and read the options
about booting your system.
I preferred to make a DOS-system disk and have autoexec.bat call
freebsd.bat (I hate the riga-marol of booting into Win 95 everytime),
a batch file I created to execute fbsdboot.exe with parameters.
