You will have to go with 3.0 to get your AIC-7890 and SMP support.

Good ol' FDISK.EXE will allow you to set up your 2GB NT partition, then you can
put FreeBSD on the remaining 16GB.  FreeBSD should run right off the default
kernel, then you can trim it to your desire.  Don't forget to spend sime time in
the LINT kernel.
