Generally what happens on an install, if you select to install the freebsd boot loader, is that you'll get a menu upon boot that looks similar to: F1 ?? F2 Disk 1 Pressing F1 will boot Windows 2000 (or XP) and pressing F2 will show a menu such as: F1 FreeBSD F2 Disk 0 These menus will just go back and forth if you keep pressing F2. You should not need to install Windows 2000 again. Just make sure you don't delete that partition.
