I used gparted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ ) to move the XP partition to make room for fBSD. You make a bootable CD and I found it to be quite simple. Make sure that your XP partition is defragmented before using gparted. Otherwise, gparted will not let you manipulate the partition. Once you make a decent partition for fBSD (mine is around 25G), just follow fBSD's installation docs ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install.html [+]) . Again, it's pretty easy.
