Just pick the second one, assuming winblows is on the first (which it typically is). and install the boot manager on the second drive, you'll get at boot up a choice of which you want - F1 for winblows (dos) or F5 for FBSD, then after its all working install osbs boot manager, its quite nice. Found all 3 os's on my machine.
