I have Win2K and FreeBSD 4.1R coexisting, but not on the same drive. I had two 2Gb drives, so I put Win2k on the master drive, and FreeBSD on the slave drive. I use the boot manager from FreeBSD to control which disk boots. It works pretty well. BTW - I did the Win2k install first, and the FreeBSD install afterwards, placing the boot manager on ad0 (the first disk). It went without a hitch.

It actually took the 2nd partition, assigned it c:\ and went from there... But I had to format it first before loading Windows.
