Get "The complete FreeBSD" from walnut creek (http://www.cdrom.com/ ).
Provides a good general overview of FreeBSD with lots of tricks thrown in,
and configuration recipes for the newbie. It is not really for the *total*
Unix newbie, though.

I'm pretty sure the new edition covers setting up FreeBSD to dual boot
with Windows or any other O/S.

You can also dig around in the FreeBSD handbook and docs - there is
a section on doing what you want there. ( http://www.freebsd.org/)
