Using SBM Smart Boot Manager http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ I was able
to boot my FreeBSD 5.2R out of the box which is located on the upper
part of the disk (40G to 80G).
It uses MBR for installation, so you can boot from a DOS floppy. Backup
your existing MBR and isntall this nice tool.

Test realplayer alone to see if it works (for me it does).

1) Use the Nvidia AGP support

Add Option NvAgp 1 in XFree86config :

Even with EHCI enabled the speed won't be that great. According to the
man page, the code is still under development and therefore pretty buggy.
Maybe you'll have better luck with Firewire.
