yes you should be able to do that without a problem... i, however have had
quite a few problems with the freebsd boot manager and prefer to use lilo
(the LInux LOader)... but it *should* be able to do it and hopefully you
will have better luck than i did.

as a side note, i wasn't aware you could have scsi and ATA drives in the
same box... interesting.

peace,
brian
