I currently have a dual boot Windows/Linux system and want to add =
another partition and install FreeBSD.

In the FreeBSD install, it mentions that the boot files must be within =
the first 1024 Cylinders. Is this a requirement for FreeBSD itself or =
just for the FreeBSD boot loader?

If I use a linux boot loader (LILO or Grub) which doesn't have a problem =
with the 1024 cylinder limit, will it be able to boot FreeBSD if it's =
boot files are above cylinder 1024?
