I have two physical IDE drives, primary master C: with Win98, and primary
slave with (I hope) a successful installation of FreeBSD 3.4 on it from
CD-ROM.  I say "I hope" because I don't have any way to boot into it
except by booting the 3.4 CD-ROM, which starts the installation process,
or by booting from the kernel and mfsroot floppies I made, which also
start the installation process.
 
Now, I believe I need a boot manager at the beginning of the C: to query
me whether I want to boot into Windows or FreeBSD.  However, _The Complete
FreeBSD_ sure doesn't seem to discuss this particular situation, at all. 
What is the best way of doing this without running any significant risk of
devastating the C:?

Tools at hand:
FreeBSD 3.4, 4-CD set
_The Complete FreeBSD_
internet connection
opposable thumbs
