Install Windows or repartition your disk using the fips utility (on Walnut Creeck FreeBSD CD-Rom or ftp server) and read the fips docu CAREFULLY. After that install FreeBSD. It installs a simple and effective boot manager, so you can dual boot. And BTW, I think this is a FAQ and detailed instructions are surely in the fine FreeBSD manual on the WWW server: www.freebsd.org.
