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.
