Certainly.  I have OS/2 (close enough to NT :) ), DOS, and FreeBSD 
working together here.

The only restriction is the number of systems.  You still only have 4 
slices for stuff.

I don't run NT so I have no idea :)  I remember faintly that the NT bm is 
not that great.  OS/2's Boot Manager is superb.

No.

You can look in the mail archive on www.freebsd.org.
