FreeBSD won't do anything you haven't started yourself. You have to read
carefully. First the drive shouldn't be partitioned with DOS, for the
parts you want to use FreeBSD on. Delete the partition you want FreeBSD
on. Second, answer "leave untouched" when prompted if you want Boot
manager to be your boot loader. Then FreeBSD will not touch anything of
your exesting file system. If you boot with lilo today, you can very
well stick to that.
