Well, http://www.freebsd.org is a great place to start ... All the manuals are online ...
I wouldn't necessarily suggest running it with another operating system ... I think you should commit a box to it and play ... I myself have had a FreeBSD system running in a VMWare environment nicely with the GUI and eveything, but that's just for messing around with it ... The great aspect of this is that VMWare is a Windows application that sets up an environment for you ..
If you want to dual boot the system, you would not want the entire HD formatted as NTFS which if you're running Windows 2000, it probably already is ... In a dual boot environment, you would probably want like half the drive formatted to NTFS for your Windows 2000 installation and then leave the other partition for FreeBSD to do what it wants to it ... I don't have any dual boot boxes ... Closest I got to that was just swapping out a HD from a machine where one had the W2K install on it and the other was FreeBSD ... I didn't want to get involved with boot managers or boot floppies ...
It all depends what you want to do with the box ...
