If you have or can install a fancy boot manager (i.e., not FreeBSD's), starting in the MBR of the first disk, then you can sometimes do without a BM on the second disk, but if you're going to use a normal FreeBSD disk layout and you don't have a fancy BM, then you'll normally want a FreeBSD Boot Manager in the MBR of both disks. The first one lets you boot from the partitions on the first disk or start the second disk's MBR from which you can boot FreeBSD. Except I don't know about dual booting with MSFT OSes. I've read it's possible with the FreeBSD BM. The list archives have info on that.
