I recently discovered the OS/2 Boot Manager (from Warp Connect, OS/2 v3) seems only to permit booting FreeBSD from the first 2 (IDE) drives, though after booting, partitions from the 3rd drive (secondary master/solitary) may be mounted and read/written. Perhaps this has something to do with my BIOS (Phoenix 4.04 circa 1996) or motherboard (Zeos 90 MHz pentium -- probes as Intel neptune chipset).
