I have a question on how to install FreeBSD.  I have a 340 meg IDE hard drive.
Initially, I set it to have only one DOS partition.  I have 200 meg of
available space.  Can I install FreeBSD in addition to the DOS
partition or will it completely wipe out the DOS partition and destroy my 
data on the hard disk?  What's the best approach to install FreeBSD when you
have an existing DOS partition?
