boot manager

Hi All, got a simple question. I have freebsd installed on a separate disk to windows, and I would like a boot manager to select between them, instead of having to go into the bios. I installed bsd without a boot manager, so is there an easy way to add one now I have the full system up and running. If this in the handbook I must have missed it :/

Many thanks
 
Ok, I tried that but may have cocked it up. In my system there are 2 main disks I care about

/dev/ad8 (freebsd)
/dev/ad12 (windows)

I did boot0cfg -B ad8

Now says
Code: 
F1 - FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

Both options boot me into freebsd.
 
The answer depends upon:
The version of windows
Whether the install in any way other
than the boot itself, compromised the
integrity of the windows data/OS.
Search the forums, or the freebsd-questions
list, or the web, something like,
...
"install windows first" freebsd dual boot
vista (or) (xp ) (or) ...
...
to almost certainly find a step by step
process for your particular windows version
