I'm booting FreeBSD from a 2nd hard drive using System Commander. If you have it installed before FreeBSD, the next boot just sees the new os and adds it to the boot menu. I don't know if boot manager or boot easy would do it or not, but I already had System Commander from when I used it for OS/2 and Linux, etc. It's very reliable and will catch mbr viruses on the next boot. You have to mark the new partition bootable during the bsd install for System Commander to add it to the boot menu automatically.
