I currently have a system that multi-boots Win 98, Win NT Small Business
Server, FreeBSD, Linux, SCO Open Server.

I would set things up this way

Partition 1 Win 98 Fat 32
Partition 2 Win NT W/S & Server NTFS use different directories
Partition 3 FreeBSD
Partition 4 Dos Extended partition for exchanging files between systems

You can boot FreeBSD of of a second HD if you dont want to mess with
your current setup. Add the second hard disk and install to it.

Just for reference I am using

HD 1 partition 1 Win 98 Fat 32 2 gig (some games only work here)
HD 1 partition 2 Windows NT SBS NTFS 4 gig (Real windows work here)
HD 1 partition 3 SCO Openserver 2 gig (to test some stuff for work)
HD 1 partition 4 O/S2 Boot Manager (my only IBM product)
HD 2 partition 1 Linux extf2 900 meg (curiosity)
HD 2 partition 2 Linux swap 100 meg (annoyed me to use a "real"
partition 4 this)
HD 2 partition 3 FreeBSD 2 Gig (The best unix I have found for x86)
HD 2 partition 4 DOS extended 300 Meg (common file system for inter o/s
exchange)

I am running with 96 megs on a 200mhz mmx pentium.

OS/2 boot manager will boot all of the above except SCO which requires
FDISK to set it's partition active. Go to www.sysinternals.com and get
the win 9x NTFS drivers and WIN NT FAT 32 drivers to make the exchange
of data between win nt & 9x more convenient.
