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.
