Try doing something like

\documentstyle{book}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\chapter*{Preface\markboth{Preface}{Preface}}
(text of preface here)
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{First Chapter}
...
\end{document}

You also need an \addcontentsline.  You could wrap this all up into an
environment with something like

\newenvironment{preface}{%
\pagenumbering{roman}%
\chapter*{Preface\markboth{Preface}{Preface}}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Preface}%
}{%
\pagenumbering{arabic}%
}

Then you could do \begin{preface} ... \end{preface}.  Let me know if
it works.
