I'm trying to not have to rebuild my system to add FBSD.  I currently have a 1GB
drive with OS/2's boot manager to get me to DOS and OS/2.  I've added a 2nd 1.6GB
drive (both EIDE on a PCI system), where I want to install FBSD.  I've put NT at the
first half of the drive and woudl like to devote the rest to FBSD.

Is there anything special with FBSD that will not boot if installed beyond 1023 
cylinders?  Will System Commander allow me to do this or is it also restricted?

Help!

TIA,

Les
