My hard drive has more than 2600 cylinders.  I would like to install
both freebsd and dos on it so that I can boot from either(using the
boot manager).  I have read through the install instructions and 
the FAQ but I was wondering if anyone has had any success with this
and could give me some pointers not offered in the documentation.

Also, I am willing to get a second hard drive if necessary.
How do I switch between booting off of the different hard drives?

Thanks in advance.
