Sorry if this posted in the FAQ, but I didn't see it in my skimming of it.
But anyways, I am interested in FreeBSD but currently on my 1st hard drive
I have SCO XENIX and SCO UNIX. I still have a need for them. Can't I install
FreeBSD on a 2nd or 3rd hard drive and be able to boot it up? 

My guess is I boot the SCO and select the fdisk to change the active partiion
to FreeBSD and then reboot? Errr wait. I don't think that will work.

Help.

Roger
