I currently have Free bsd 2.1.7 and about to upgrade to 2.2.1

On My system I have drive C: windows 95 and Drive D: Linux
I run System Commander on my system and I am able to boot fine into
both of these systems. When I had Free BSD on my system I had it on
Drive C with 95 and used the Boot Manager that came with the
free BSD. I set it up with the small 95 partition and free BSD being the
rest of the drive below 1024 cylinders. It worked great. However since a
Crash and an Upgrade 95 became the Main C Drive. What I want to do is
Install Free Bsd in my D Drive and Be Abel to boot sim to the way i
have it set up with linux, but It will not work with system commander.
And as far as i know it wont work with the Boot Manager that comes
with free BSD. Does 2.2.1 Address this problem and if not does anyone
have a suggestion I could follow?
