You got the same setup as I do. Disk 0 has windows, and Disk 1 has 
FreeBSD/PCBSD.
What I did was do the "add new entry" Set it to FreeBSD, change the 
name, and selected partition 1 on disk 1. The one with (0xA5). After 
that I needed to go to advanced settings, select the *BSD boot entry and 
set the drive from "C:\" to "BOOT" after this change I was able to boot 
FreeBSD.
