I just did a dual boot setup with XP and 5.2.

I chose none intentionally, installed FreeBSD, then as I was rebooting, put
in my GAG disk and installed GAG as my boot loader.  It found both my
FreeBSD partition and my XP partitions.  I set it up, and I can safely boot
into either o/s fairly easily.

Gag is available on sourceforge.
