That's a safe bet, from the standpoint of the Windows installations, but
it can cause grief if you try to plug everything back in.  I've had
problems with the BIOS moving drives around, then FreeBSD can't figure
out which drive it should be mounting off.  I'm not saying it's a bad
idea, all I'm saying is that it might not produce a long-term usable
installation.
