Yes, you are, so welcome aboard!

Just boot once again from the installation CDROM and choose the
following options:

Configure->Fdisk->

Now select your FreeBSD hard drive (press space), and exit immediately
=66rom the new menu shown ('q').

Now you'll have an option screen that lets you select BootMgr (the
FreeBSD boot manager).

Simon

P.S. If you did not install Windows before FreeBSD, you should do that
     before going through the above procedure. Windows has the bad habit
     of overwriting boot sectors....

P.P.S. Next time, please choose an appropriate subject line. That will
       increase your chance to get an answer.
