Instructions for installing rEFInd to dual boot a computer with FreeBSD and windows (and possibly other OSes as well).
Note! I use $esp-dev for all commands. Substitude this for the device with your ESP (for example ada0p1)
Download rEFInd from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.11.4/refind-bin-0.11.4.zip/download
This gives you a zip-file with everything you need for rEFInd.
Find out which partition is the ESP. This is easiest done by running `gpart list` and look for partitions with `type: efi`.
In a multi-disk setup there might be more than one of those.
I have always installed rEFInd to the one with the Windows bootloader.
