Apologies for my lack of Russian.

Win2000's bootloader can boot FreeBSD, and FreeBSD's bootloader can boot 
Win2000.  See <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859- 
1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER> and <URL: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install- 
steps.html>, section 2.5.4.
