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.
