5.0-R won't boot partition 60G into a drive

Well, I've run into an odd bug that I haven't seen before. Methinks it's in
the bootloader. If this is a known bug or has been fixed since 5.0R, lemme
know.
It goes something like this: workstation contains one 120GB IDE drive. The
first 60G is Win2k, the second is FreeBSD, in theory at least. Install
completes successfully.
When I get to the bootloader prompt and hit F2, it just beeps at me and
refuses to proceed.
On this same machine, if I split it 30/30/60 (win2k/BSD/empty), it boots fine.
Thoughts? Any info I can send in? I'm supping the machine to 5.1B and
rebuilding, but I won't be repartitioning my drive after that out of sheer
lack of time. Though I -could- duplicate the partition above 60G....
