I installed (and am doing 2 more this week) a single drive system, and dual drive system, and a 4 drive system with FreeBSD. All of the single drive systems have both DOS and FreeBSD, the multiple two drive systems have FreeBSD and DOS (some with really funky partitions) And, the hardest part of the entire process has ALWAYS been trying to get X to work with their monitor/card combination. I forgot how to build disklables (not really, but I don't do it anymore). It just works. If you aren't able to do it while I have folks who have done it w/out my help (and I've done it many many times) then either you're misinformed or people I have access to have something you don't.
