I'm currently running a dual boot with Slackware 12.1 and FreeBSD 7.0 on a Plll 667 IBM 300PL.
To set-up a dual boot with Slackware and FreeBSD:
1. Install Slackware first and leave a partition of un-allocated space for FreeBSD.
2. Install FreeBSD onto the free partition. Do not install the FreeBSD boot loader.
3. Boot into Slackware and edit /etc/lilo.conf Here is my lilo.conf, adjust as needed.
4. Run lilo to update lilo.conf.
5. Now when you boot-up your computer you will have the option to select Slackware or FreeBSD as your OS.

Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# FreeBSD
other = /dev/hda3
table = /dev/hda
label = FreeBSD4. Run lilo to update lilo.conf.
