Alright, I figured out how to do this. I copied /boot/boot1 to a floppy,
put it on my Windows partition as boot.bsd, then added
c:boot.bsd=3D"FreeBSD" to my boot.ini ..

I get two options when starting my computer now, but selecting the
FreeBSD option just causes the machine to reboot.

Are all these problems just because the OS's are on different physical
disks? Could it be because I added the 1024mb swap partition before /
when I was going through the partition editor?

I'm really at a loss here ..
