If you installed into GPT partitions like this:
$ gpart show ada0
=>       34  488397101  ada0  GPT  (233G)
         34       1038     1  freebsd-boot  (519K)
       1072  455081984     2  freebsd-ufs  (217G)
  455083056   33314079     3  freebsd-swap  (16G)

Try to make GPT in MBR as bootable (active) partition:
$ fdisk -s /dev/ada0
/dev/ada0: 484521 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
Part        Start        Size Type Flags
   1:           1   488397167 0xee 0x80
$ fdisk -p /dev/ada0
# /dev/ada0
g c484521 h16 s63
p 1 0xee 1 488397167
a 1

This is an known issue on HP laptops.
