The best place to find out this stuff is the FreeBSD Handbook. Seriously.

But I'll give you some bits of advice. Installing FreeBSD on it's own drive 
is easiest. You lesson the risk of ruining your XP and Linux partitions on 
the other drive. If you already know LILO very well, then just use LILO to 
boot FreeBSD. The FreeBSD boot manager does not need to be on the master's 
MBR.
