What does it take to be able to use a mixture of SCSI and IDE (ATA) disks?
Nothing special. You could boot off a FreeBSD CD-ROM image and do so, or from a working FreeBSD install on one of the drives. Your SCSI disks will be /dev/da0, da1, etc and your IDE disks will be /dev/ ad0, ad1, etc.
I'd like to be able to copy (dd) one to another.
While dd will work, in the sense that you can copy blocks of data directly, it is unlikely that the two drives will be of the same size and have the same geometry/partition table. This may or may not present a problem, but you might want to consult:
