Well, it replaces it completely. You can use "dd" to extract your boot 
record and then put it into NT's root and point its multi-OS thingy to it 
(Pretty rediculusly difficult for multibooting if you ask me. Probably 
intentional) or you can just have FreeBSD repair the MBR by booting from a 
CD or floppy after NT is installed. You can then use FreeBSD to do the 
multibooting.
