Simple hack: swap root and swap partition, swap is now first
FreeBSD partition
Example:
1. 5MB DOS
2. 80MB extended DOS/Windows 2a. 80MB FreeBSD swap
3. 20MB FreeBSD /
99MB FreeBSD /usr
If You don't swap, You don't need to reinstall windows :-))
(alternatively start with swap after windows, e.g. at offset 25MB and
use 60MB for swap; DOS has tools for repairing corrupted fs). Be
carefully with the FreeBSD root partition.
