What exactly are you after? When I did my FreeBSD installation it did not harm any of the other OS installed. It did not trespass the partition (called slice) that I assigned to it.
If installing into a VM, it won't even see your disk in the first place, only the container file used for installation.

BUGS
This utility was written to install PC-BSD and has seen limited use as an installer for FreeBSD. It's likely that usage to install FreeBSD
will expose edge cases that PC-BSD doesn't, as well as generate feature requests based on unforeseen needs.
