Looks like you have 3 root "partitions" for FBSD and one for windows.  I 
think you are dividing the disk up to soon.  You only divide ad0 into 
ad0s1(w2k) and ad0s2(ufs).  Then in the FBSD disk labeler you make /, 
swap, /usr, /tmp, etc....  So to recap it seems you have made ad0s1, 
ad0s2, ad0s3, and ad0s4 and the boot loader asks which you what to boot 
from.  So there is no /usr(I guess) on ad0s2, you put it on ad0s3.  
Print out the steps from the handbook if you need to.
