>How-To-Repeat:
- Boot from Ubuntu live cd
- Create 3 primary linux - ext3 partitions of 10GB each by
$sudo fdisk /dev/sda
- Boot from FreeBSD 8.3 i386
- Install FreeBSD 8.3 on the remaining space on the disk by first creating a slice in the 4th primary partition of 50GB and auto allocate the FreeBSD file system inside the slice
- Boot from Ubuntu live cd and do
$sudo fdisk /dev/sda

The whole partition table has been messed up by FreeBSD installer as shown in the following screenshots :

 As i see there are two identical MBR and FreeBSD did nothing bad.
 Probably you have changed disk geometry in the installer and after that
 you got what you see.
