You could type /stand/sysinstall and install the FreeBSD bootloader, BootEasy. This will allow you to select NT or FBSD at boot time. Or you can follow the instructions in the FAQ at FreeBSD's web site to have NT's bootloader show FreeBSD as an option. Or you can install GRUB from the FreeBSD ports. They're all free, and each is easy enough that you can try them all and see which you prefer.
