Hmm, you obviously missed the thread "Re:dual boot pain"
If you can get OSs onto diff physical hard drives them have
them boot tell me how please. I've only managed to partition
the first drive and install/boot from there.

If keeping windows 98 is so important to you I would buy a new hard drive
and install freebsd on that.
Then use some multiple OS boot system to switch between them.

Dear FreeBSD,
I am interested in loading UNIX onto my computer but I know almost
nothing about operating systems. I am currently running Windows98. If
I
download FreeBSD/UNIX, will I overwrite and destroy my existing
operating
system?
In a networking class that I am taking, the machine has both the
Microsoft 98 operating system and UNIX. If you hit f1, Windows loads,
if you
hit f2, UNIX loads. Will I end up with something like that.
I'm very much interested in experimenting with UNIX, but not at
the
cost of trashing my existing system.
Thanks, Boomerkitten@aol.com
