Notes: 1) You don't have to reformat the whole HD to install FreeBSD with OS/2. A large enough free space will do it. 2) If you do format the HD, OS/2 can be installed anytime after OS/2 Boot Manager is installed. If you mean using a hot key to switch between OS/2 and FreeBSD after boot up, then I doubt it.
