I think FreeDOS should be on the primary partition. IDE Master and Slave is not a problem, depending on which is the "ACTIVE" hard disk. But I didn't recommend you put FreeDOS on any existing partition except you have backup of the whole partition. Though FreeDOS is quite stable now but no one can guarantee it won't destroy FAT table, so I did the test on two spare PC, each with 2 hard disk. If you want to try the compatibility but don't want to risk, use the ODIN one floppy distribution to boot. It can read the FAT32, but for safety the partition should be emptied for testing, otherwise still have the risk of corrupting your data.
