I dual-boot XP Pro and FreeBSD all the time (using FreeBSD's own MBR).  I
do remember having to convince XP to install to an "active" partition, and
then fiddle around with FreeBSD to make them both work, but it was no big
deal --I used the help function in Wiondows (which had some documentable
errors) but it wasn't hard to figure out.
