Can FreeBSD (or NetBSD) handle > 2 hard drives on a system?

I have 2 ESDI drives on a standard controller plus 4 SCSI drives on an adaptec
1542b.

I'd really like to put enough of an OS to BOOT on one of the ESDI drives and
access other stuff on one of the SCSI drives.

Thanks in advance

John O'Connor
