Yes, what you want to do can be done. I'm not enough of an install guru to tell you exactly what steps you need to take, but check out http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.txt. Also, Greg Lehey's book THE COMPLETE FREEBSD is quite helpful. It can be ordered from Walnut Creek CD-ROMs, http://www.cdrom.com. Good luck, and have fun.
