Unfamiliar with loadlin, but there are any number of easy
ways to do this. You could type /stand/sysinstall and
install the FreeBSD bootloader, BootEasy. This will
allow you to select NT or FBSD at boot time. Or you can
follow the instructions in the FAQ at FreeBSD's web site
to have NT's bootloader show FreeBSD as an option. Or you
can install GRUB from the FreeBSD ports. They're all free,
and each is easy enough that you can try them all and see
which you prefer.
