i would appreciate a new freebsd loading scheme more than a replacement loader. the main annoyance to me is the requirement that freebsd be loaded in a primary partition. i am not familiar with the structure of the freebsd partition or what necessitates use of a primary partition. what i would like could require an overhall of freebsd; however, the few linux variations i have tested allow the linux system to be loaded in any partition whether primary or extended. if i have a disk which has been in use for a while, all of the primary partitions may have been used for other systems, and still have sufficient empty space to accomodate freebsd, but can not load freebsd for lack of a primary partition.
