It's interesting when you say that you didn't have this problem with 3.2.  I
had this very same problem when I installed Norton (version 5 engine)  using
FBSD 3.2 -so maybe you were luckier.  McAfee doesn't suffer from this problem,
so I've stuck with it (and 3.2).

At a guess the bootmanager is writing to the boot sector to set the active
partition flag , which is where Norton is getting it's knickers in a knot.
