I use System Commander to boot between Win95. WFWG 3.11, Dos 6.22 and FreeBSD. You have to install FreeBSD on the second drive but you have to make sure to install the Boot Easy loader. After you have installed FreeBSD you can use System Commander's Install/Update utility to reinitialize System Commander. System Commander will automatically recognize the FreeBSD slice. I took me a while to figure this out but once I figured out what to do everything was straightforward and simple.
