The primary IDE controller on my machine is already occupied with two disk drives. I'd like to buy a third drive and make it the master on the secondary controller and use it exclusively for FreeBSD. I was browsing through The Complete FreeBSD in the bookstore and I thought I read that you can install FreeBSD on the forst or second hard drive. Can anyone clarify this? Thank you.
