Solved Lenovo V570 and MBR partitions?

Hello All :)

I am trying to install FreeBSD-10.1 (64bit) on a Lenovo V570 laptop.After trying many different articles on MBR and GPT partitioning with no luck. Currently I am here, sitting in the chroot of an automated GPT partitioning scheme from a fresh install.
Could someone tell me the what I would need to aid my filesystem in locating the kernel. I have tried several different methods I found from Mr. WBlock's articles on partitioning and boot loaders to no avail.
Code:
#gpart show ada0
=>         34    195371501    ada0    GPT    (93G)
              34              1024          1    freebsd-boot    (512K)
          1058    186645504          2    freebsd-ufs     (89G)
186646562        8388608          3    freebsd-swap   (4.0G)
195035170          336365                --  free  --    (164M)

# cat /etc/fstab
# Device             Mountpoint        FStype    Options  Dump        Pass#
/dev/ada0p2        /                       ufs           rw          1              1
/dev/ada0p3        none                 swap       sw          0              0
If I was to reboot now (after installation) I would get a (not verbatim):
Code:
PXE: Media test failure
.
This being a laptop I wouldn't expect it to only work by booting off the network?

Thanks for any and all advice

Edit:
Code:
fdisk -B -b boot/boot0 ada0
...parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3101136 heads=1 sectors/track=63  (63 blks/cyl)
Figures below wont work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl1
Information from DOS bootlock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 238 (0xee),(EFI GPT)
    start 1, size 195371567 (95396 Meg), flag 0
    beg: cyl 0/ head  0/ sector 2;
    end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63
And just in case (sorry I'm trying to give as much info as possible)
Code:
#boot0cfg -B ada0
boot0cfg: GEOM_PART: write bootcode to /dev/ada0 failed: 22 ar0 'ada0'
SOLVED: auto-partition zfsroot with MBR scheme
