Don't worry about the boot loader...

On the installation process, select the option "leave MBR unchanged". After the installations finishes, add FreeBSD to your boot loader.

If you use LILO is like this:

other=/dev/hdXY
label="FreeBSD"
table=/dev/hdX

where X means your disk device (a for hda, b for hdb...)
and Y means the partition where you installed it (1,2,3).

Mine:
other=/dev/hdb1
label="FreeBSD_5.3"
table=/dev/hdb

Hope this helps.
