I want to install a dual system (Window + FreeBSD). and Windows XP is located in MBR.

In the Redhat, I have a successful dual system with Windows XP. Windows XP is located in MBR. After install redhat (note: Redhat can not overwrite windows XP MBR during Redhat installation), I use some commands to build a file named Liunx.bin, then put this Linux.bin to windows C:\ , change boot.ini. This way is perfect for me to install dual system.

The key element is to build liunx.bin. Now my question is , how can I get this *.bin file in the FreeBSD system. Or have any solution for dual system(Window + FreeBSD) and Windows XP is located in MBR ??

Thanks

i think you already heard about lilo,etc...

If you're running a FAT32 partition on your XP install, you can use XOSL:

It's a GUI bootmanager you can use to boot any operating system. In the case of Linux, you'd install lilo or grub to the / or /boot partition of the Linux install, then install XOSL in the MBR. You have to boot into DOS to actually install the bootloader, but from there you can do all of the configuration once you've booted into the bootmanager.

It's pretty neat-- I used it before I realized the FreeBSD Boot Manager was as simple as hitting F1-F4 to boot to the partition of choice. I use that now, because I'm running NTFS on my XP install.
