Yes, but the version I use is over a year old.

I had SC installed and working for MS-DOS.  Then I installed FBSD and
installed a standard boot sector/block.  (You installed nothing to get it
booted.)  Then I reinstalled SC (like the manual says), and it found the
new operating system (FreeBSD), and all was good.
