If it's win32, my experience would have me recommend just booting from a

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER
The instructions require that you install the FreeBSD boot manager if
you are using the NT boot manager for a two-disk boot, but I think
that you can overwrite it with the standard MBR after you
configuration it is easier to just use the FreeBSD boot
manager and not mess with the NT/XP boot manager.
Of course using the FreeBSD manager is the much easier and simpler
option, just some people seem
to like the NT one better..
The NT boot manager is prettier, but for a two-disk
separate HDD
(each has 40GB). I am already using the first drive (e.g., C drive)
only for Window XP and now would like to install FreeBSD on the
second
drive (e.g., D drive).
Which drive should I install the FreeBSD Boot Manager?
That really depends on how you want to do
.
You have a few choices:
1. FreeBSD boot manager
Pro: Can install just one boot manager out of the box
and it takes care of detecting all of the partitions
Con: If you don't like FreeBSD anymore, no more boot
manager.
2. GRUB
Pro: Plays nicely
