Read the file entitled INSTALL in the release directory, and find
an ~30k document on www.freebsd.org describing how to use FreeBSD
+ another OS (you won't actually need to digest ~30k on info - in
fact, you might need none of it -- the doc just happens to be
~30k).

BootEasy is the boot manager that FreeBSD normally installs.
There are others, such as LiLo, osbs; OS/2 & NT (??) both come
with one.

You probably don't need to care about this.  Generally, if
booteasy doesn't work, just read the FAQ.

You will not boot UNIX from a floppy, other than the initial
install floppy, which can be used to install or in combo with a
rescue disk.
