Question FreeBSD Install Partition

I'm about to install FreeBSD but the partition i'm going to install to is on my second hard drive (not my main one). Will this cause any problems ? ie. can I still use a bootloader or should I create a boot disk ?

No, this is actually a better setup that sharing partitions on the main drive. My system has Windows XP on the primary and UNIX distros on the secondary. It doesn't matter that I rarely use the primary, it just makes the installation soo much easier.

>can I still use a bootloader or should I create a boot disk ?
Of course, but be sure to use a boot manager so that you can boot into the primary drive when you need to. If you don't already have a multiboot system going you can select the option to install one during the installation.
