Hi, everyone,

I am planning to install FreeBsd or NetBsd on my 486/33 computer. My
problem is that I have 2HD - one 504M and one 124M. The 124M one contains my 
DOS system. I plan to put OS/2 and BSD in the 504M one. 

As far as I know, DOS has to boot from C:, so I have to put the 124M HD as C:
and the 504M as D:. My question is: can FreeBsd/NetBsd be booted from the 2nd 
HD - D: or E:? I am planning to use BootManger from OS/2 to select the OS 
at bootup time. Any other good boot manger around ?

Any help is appreciated!
