FreeBSD will offer to install this for you, and you do want it. But you may prefer to install a different one (e.g., osbs) from the (I think) tools directory. See http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials for a tutorial on multi-os booting and a tutorial for new users, among others. You can also search the mailing list archives on www.freebsd.org on this topic and many others.
