     You can, also as any other OS. If BIOS supports disks swapping (ie.
there is option in BIOS setup, which selects, which disk should be
bootable).

     OS may be loaded from any partition (this depends exclusively from boot
loader), but config.sys will be searched by (Free)DOS on C:, whereas C:
assigned to first/active primary partition on first disk.

1. Partition your second drive.
2. Format partition on your second drive.
3. Install FreeDOS into second drive. For this, run FreeDOS' SYS and specify
   drive letter of partition on second drive.
4. Reboot computer and in BIOS Setup select boot from second drive.
