   No, but this isn't really a lose (atleast not from my pov).  However
you can read/write 
   FAT file systems (DOS/Windows), and there are DOS emulatores and a
Windows emulators, and    VMWare which allows you to (for all intensive
purposes) run Windows as a UNIX application    on it's own virtual
machine.  Each is in variouse states of compleatness.

  Windows can also be on the hard disk, and you can use DOS rawrite to
make boot floppies.

  Yes, read the Shared OS Installation in the online handbook, or in the
printed manual "The   Complete FreeBSD"
