I don't use a drive manager so I have no ideas if this will really
work, but..

I suggest making the 420MB drive your C drive with the 2G as D.

Partition it with about 60MB for FreeBSD and the rest for DOS.
Partition the 2.5G drive to taste (2G FreeBSD, 500M dos :)

Install windows

Install FreeBSD putting / on the 60MB partition and /var and /usr
on the second drive.  The root partition really doesn't need much
room at all if you give both /var and /usr to their own filesystem.
A recent 2.2 install of mine has less than 30M in /
You'll probably want to put the swap partition on the second 
drive to since windows really insists on using drive C for a
lot of stuff so that space will be precious.

The drive manager *should not* pose a problem when used on the
second drive since FreeBSD won't be looking at the bootblocks
there.

Let me know how it goes.
