I'm revisiting this issue. Windows 8 is working fine, especially since I "spiked" it with an X-Window server and a conventional desktop shell. However, for some stuff I still expect to need PC-BSD.
So I'm again wondering if the second hard drive option will work? My earlier experience showed me that Windows 8 and PC-BSD can't live on the same hard drive. But since I may soon have the option of adding a 2TB hard drive to the SATA array (and that's a strange story in itself), PC-BSD may be able to move in to the vacant drive.
In my experience, PC-BSD doesn't make a good room mate with other operating systems, but it's generally a good neighbor.
