The only caveat is that after installing FreeBSD and rebooting, you have to have a DOS/Win98 boot disk so that you can run fdisk to make the Win2K partition active. Otherwise you get "no operating system found" at your next boot. I don't know why the FreeBSD installer insists on inactivating all of the partitions on the drive, its very annoying.
