Using BootMAgic and FreeUSD

I installed FreeBSD 4.3 today. I downloaded the ISO from the freeBSD.org and burned it. I got through the installation and opted not to install the BootManager.

I have BootMagic already and want to use it.

When I restart my computer I just end up starting Windows.
I went into BootMagic's config and added FreeBSD as an OS with no problem. I want to leave Windows as my default.

I dont know how BootMagic works but I assumed that it would give me some dialog to choose what OS I wanted to boot when I restarted my computer.

I was wrong.

Does anyone know how to make it so BootMagic works and lets me boot either OS.

And what is a full-proof way to start up FreeBSD, I only have the CD.

Please help I really want to get past all the details so I can start using UNIx. Thanks.
