Subject:   Installing FreeBSD on second HD
Message-ID:  <LOBBLIOBJFLGFEDBACNIIEFLCNAA.mjryan@netins.net>

Hello, I currently have a 27GB HD, 4gb NT partition, 16GB NTFS partition and
6 Unformatted re-maining.

I was told in order to install FreeBSD I must shorten my NT partition.  I
would like to put freeBSD on the last 6gb partition, but if thats not
possible I wanted to put FreeBSD on another HD.  I do have a 2.5GB secondary
HD in my computer and I was wondering if I can just install to that HD and
not have to mess with the NT partition?  I assume I don't but I would like
to check this out before I install.


I have checked http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multi-os/ch2.html, it didn't
really go into detail if FreeBSD could be installed alone on a second HD.

So in short, Can I install FreeBSD on a second 2.5GB HD without altering the
NT partitions already on the computer?

And is the default boot manager sufficient enough for NT?

Regards

Adam Ryan
