Later however I found out that I could install FreeBSD on the second drive without a boot manager. (I believe this is the last option of the three when asked to install a boot manager) This works perfect for me, and is a bit faster. I did a clean new install, but it can probally also be done be starting sysinstall as root.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Do you have booteasy installed on both drives? If not, you cannot boot from the second drive. I have two drives as well: Drive 0 (1 Gig) has Windows 95. Drive 1 (10 Gig) has a 2-Gig Windows partition, the rest is pure FreeBSD. When I boot, I need to press F5 first to tell the system to boot off drive 1, then F2 to oot FreeBSD from the booteasy on Drive 1.
