|The question: | |Is there a way to install and then boot FreeBSD on the second ide disk |without modify the first disk (except possibly the master boot record)? Certainly. No tricks are necessary to my knowledge. Just boot the boot floppy, fdisk, partition, and load your software. Incidentally, I've done this and have one version of FreeBSD on one drive with DOS, and another version of FreeBSD on the other drive with DOS and Linux. With a 2Gig IDE disk, you'll want to be running BIOS LBA if you aren't already (see your motherboard manual or boot-up config screens for details). Also, I'm using the OS/BS 2.0b8 (OSBS20B8) boot loader -- see the dosutils directory on ftp.freebsd.org. You also might find the Multi-OS tutorial off the FreeBSD home page helpful.
