I've got DOS on my first IDE drive, FreeBSD on the second, and I'd like 
to install WindozeNT on a SCSI drive.  The FreeBSD boot manager (can't 
remember the real name-- sorry) is wonderful, but can it handle a setup 
like I describe above?  And will it get overwritten by the NT install 
procedure, forcing me to reinstall it?

Anybody done this before?  I've seen lots of postings about getting 
FreeBSD to coexist peacefully with OS/2, but not NT.

Thanks in advance.....
