I've got a couple of questions regarding installing FreeBSD Release 2.  I 
have a couple of drives on my machine and have both DOS and OS/2 on it.  I 
am currently using the OS/2 boot manager to switch between the two.  Can I 
use the boot manager that OS/2 installed with FreeBSD partitions?  Or do I 
have to use the boot manager that the FreeBSD install will provide?

The second question.  Can I place all the *dist directories on my E: drive 
as opposed to the C: drive?  Or will the install only allow drive C:?

Here's my drive configuration:

Drive 0 - 1G HDD
-------------------------

Boot manager (from OS/2)                 1M
DOS (primary - drive C:)                    35M
OS/2 (primary - drive C:)                   65M
FAT partition (extended - drive E:)   400M
unused partition (targeted for BSD) 530M


Drive 1 - 540M HDD
-----------------------------

FAT partition (extended - drive D:)   503M


Notice that I want to place FreeBSD in the 530M unused partition at the end 
of drive 0.  Will this work OK?  And what boot manager should I use?

Thanks.
