Hi
I was just wondering if freebsd would install on my computer. 
Currently I have 2 separate harddrives both using an ontrack disk
manager when i boot my computer.  My bios is from 93 and has that
limitation on how big the harddrives can be.  My first hd is 2.5
gigs and the second is a 850.  Is it possible for me to install
freebsd on my computer.  I was told that with my bios I would not be
able to install linux.  Can someone please shed some light on this
for me.  Thanks for your time.
