I am going to install FREEBsd on a second IDE hd on a computer whose
first hd is an EIDE.

The computer has an older bios, so in order to "see" all the cylindars
of the EIDE drive I need to use a disk mangler...oops...disk manager.
The disk is partitioned into three virtual disks

Will FreeBSD be able to see the entire DOS EIDE drive?

Where can I find documentation on how to install it on the second
drive without wrecking the first?  

I already tried formatting the second drive and the first drive
stopped booting.  re-writing the boot sector did not fix it.  I needed
to re-install WIN95.

Any help would be appreciated.
