I suggest making the 420MB drive your C drive with the 2G as D. Partition it with about 60MB for FreeBSD and the rest for DOS. Partition the 2.5G drive to taste (2G FreeBSD, 500M dos :) Install windows Install FreeBSD putting / on the 60MB partition and /var and /usr on the second drive. The root partition really doesn't need much room at all if you give both /var and /usr to their own filesystem. A recent 2.2 install of mine has less than 30M in / You'll probably want to put the swap partition on the second drive to since windows really insists on using drive C for a lot of stuff so that space will be precious. The drive manager *should not* pose a problem when used on the second drive since FreeBSD won't be looking at the bootblocks there. Let me know how it goes.
