I had the same problem, I started with Red Hat,
then went to another version then FreeBSD. I found it the most resourceful and
easiest to install. I have installed different scenarios when installing
FreeBSD, both on primary and secondary and both easy to do.
If you downloaded the ISO image make sure you burn
it to a CD so you can see the FILE STRUCTURE. I made this mistake and cost me
dearly. If you can boot from your CD, check BIOS to do this, you are in
paradise. Stick the bootable CD into the CD rom and reboot. If
not download the bootable diskets, 2 of them. Just follow the
instructions. It took me 2 full days to get the process right - I made the
mistake of not reading the documentation. Here's the good new's. Once you know
what you are doing it only takes 20 minutes. And it's super easy.
If your second harddrive is all ready formatted,
it's probably in dos. You don't want this. You are going to have to use the
label editor(look it up in the hand book), similar to fdisk to partition it
correctly. If you have a partition you want to use all ready, use the label
editor to delete that partition and reparation again using the FreeBSD label
editor to create the Slice, again read the hand book for newbies, it tells you
how to do it step by step.
