Install FreeBSD on the first SCSI disk. Tell it to use the whole disk, and install the _standard_ MBR. (Not the boot selector). Then install Boot-Easy (get it out or the 2.0R distribution tools directory) on the IDE disk. The BIOS will boot the IDE disk, and you will be able to select DOS, or the 'second' disk, with FreeBSD on it.
