FreeBSD (and I suspect NetBSD as well) works well on a second disk. Today I have two hard disks in my system. The first one has Linux on it (sd0) and the second one has FreeBSD on it (sd1). I boot FreeBSD with Lilo and it works fine for me. The second disk has two partitions on it. One for FreeBSD (which further subdivides the partition) and one for extra linux goodies (not bootable).
