Standard windows always tries to boot from the first partition on the first disk of the primary IDE channel. Just swap your disks so that win is ad0 and FreeBSD ad1 and adopt the boot process accordingly (actually do this first, otherwise have a look on the relevant manpages for the syntax to call disks at the bootlader). I heard of some boot managers, who should be able to boot win from the second disk with some tricks, but can't remember which ones. First guess: Have a look at www.xosl.org .
