In vista there is a command-line tool for editing the boot sector:
*bcdedit*
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/08d64d13-4f45-4a05-bd86-c99211a93dd91033.mspx?mfr=true

And as you might expect there is a GUI for this tool by a third-party 
provider:
*EasyBCD*

It claims to be able to allow for vista/BSD dual boot but I haven't 
tested yet.

All I did was dual boot vista and xp with the help of this utility.


RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens
