Dual boot FreeBSD 10 with Windows 7

If you have installed FreeBSD 10 (this applies to 9.x as well), on top of a pre-existing Windows 7 install, you have noticed that there is no option (at least not by default) to dual boot. To enable dual booting open a shell in FreeBSD, su to root, and enter the following:

boot0cfg -B ada0

Reboot. Now when the system begins to boot, you should have options for booting into Windows 7 or FreeBSD.
