hi,
you can do it just as in linux, let's suppose the linux native partition is hda3, and the freebsd partition is hda4, and linux and freebsd are both in a primary partition and the boot loader are both located in it's own partition. in linux you can do this :
dd if=/dev/hda4 of=bootsec.bsd count=1
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=bootsec.lnx count=1
then mv these 2 files into the ntldr's partition
and edit the boot.ini to reflect the files to it's os's partition, then you can use nt's boot loader to load the OS.
good luck!

DESCRIPTION
findfs will search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
are:

tables.
If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.
The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by
lsblk --fs
partx --show <disk>
blkid
EXIT STATUS
