Yes. You will probably want to install NT first. > 2) If so, are there restrictions on various versions, or do they all work? No restrictions that I know of. Newer is better, as a general rule of thumb, however. > 3) If so, should I be using the FreeBSD boot manager, or the NT boot manager? Probably the NT boot manager. You will need to dd off the first 16k of the raw BSD partition (which includes the disklabel) and use that as the BSD boot file. This procedure is archived in the mailing list archives on www.freebsd.org; look for "NT" in the subject line. > 4) If so, does FreeBSD have any ability to mount NTFS filesystems? Yes and no. Yes, there is a read-only NTFS (apparently the author didn't want to bother deciphering the logging mechanism), but it isn't generally available or redistributable at this point. You will have to go to the author's posting on the -hackers list (see the mailing list archives again) for contact information.
