In short: YES. I had a setup similar to yours. I was running DOS, OS2 Warp and Linux. I also was using Warp's Boot Manager. Recently I replaced my Linux partitions with FreeBSD while keeping OS2's Boot Manager rather than using the other alternatives. (I guess my motivation is that OS2 Bootman is much prettier). Incidently, FreeBSD is located on my second HD...while the bootmanager is located on the first drive. I pretty much set it up like setting up Linux...meaning I made a partition under OS/2 and added it to the Boot Manager first before installing (so OS/2's boot manager could find it). -- Wilfred J.
