I am not sure that everyone understood my original post but what my actual
question is
that I want to use Booteasy/BootMGR to boot between Win98/FreeBSD

With the following listed harddrive configuration.

-Win98 will be on a Samsung 1.2Gig drive as the primary slave.

-FreeBSD 3.4 will be on a MaXtor 17.8gig drive as primary master.

Is this functionality possible?
