Dual boot FreeBSD and Win XP

[LuckyTaxi]

I currently have an 80gb hard drive with XP on it.
I plan on installing a 40g hard drive solely for FreeBSD.
How can I make sure FreeBSD is able to boot upon rebooting?
Where should the bootloader be installed? MBR?

You do need a bootloader in your MBR. While this page about the Linux boot process is Linux and not *BSD, it may be worth a readover.
