You can boot FreeBSD from the XP boot manager: see http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=88
[This used to be in the FAQ and perhaps should be resurrected there.]

hello all,
Having had a positive experience thus far with 5.1-RELEASE and -current beyond
that on one of the new boxes I recently built, it is now time to build up the
dual-boot system (BSD for me, WinXP for the wife ;). I've read different
reports (some from laptop users) about using the WinXP loader to boot FreeBSD
and I've also read reports that people used the standard boot-easy to boot both
(while even others using GRUB).
Are there currently any issues with dual-booting 5.1-RELEASE and/or -current along with Windows XP (probably SP1)? This would be on the same physical disk. What do you other -current users who are faced with dual booting XP do for the most part?
Thanks,
-Jr
