yes, you have to create seperate partitions for freebsd to reside in, And
you will need to install a loader similar to lilo. Thats done auto' though.
You dont have to format it, You could use FIPS to take a chunk off your
curent windows partition so you can allocate space for freebsd... That way
you wont have to lose any data, just make sure to defrag before hand.
