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?
