I have been running a dual boot system with Windows and FreeBSD on
separate disks for several years. I use just the basic FreeBSD MBR boot
program, installed using the procedure described in the Handbook.

Windows XP needs to be on the first disk (Disk 0) and you can put
FreeBSD on the other disk. Windows installation will clobber the FreeBSD
boot block, so you need to write over it with the Handbook procedure.
