1: I want to set the drive up to be the first 300Mb for DOS and the last 200Mb
for BSD. Will this be a problem?
No. Though I'd make that 200 for DOS and 300 for BSD if I were you! :-)
If not, I assume that there is some sort of DOS boot manager to select which
system to boot into!
Yes. Look at ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/tools/ on freebsd.cdrom.com
2: The 486 has only 8mb ram, will this still run at a reasonable speed?
Yes, it will work reasonably enough..
