thx. it's work!

cd /usr/src/sys
fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/realbtx/realbtx.2.patch
patch < realbtx.2.patch
cd boot/i386
make obj TARGET_ARCH=amd64
make depend TARGET_ARCH=amd64
make TARGET_ARCH=amd64
make install TARGET_ARCH=amd64

and install mbr in sysinstall again.
Configure -> Fdisk -> Set Bootable -> w -> Standard

Litle bad thing - loader not boot kernel automatic.
