Here's my situation. I already have a machine dual booting Win2k and

I'll need to reinstall windows 2000.
I know there's got to be a way to make this work and keep the freebsd boot
loader. I've heard there's a way to tell a windows installation not to
install a boot loader.
Windows 2000 won't touch your boot loader, IIRC.
And even if it does, you can boot of a FreeBSD install CD, got to the fdisk
section and tell it to write changes (without changing anything) and you'll
get the option to replace the FreeBSD boot loader.
Warning on this, exactly which buttons you select determines whether or not
the bootloader gets installed. I did it like 3 times or something before it
worked the last time I had to, but the good news is that it never did anything
wrong.
