Ok, that's doable since I'll have a large FAT32 disk that I will be using for shared data anyway, and on my previous dual-boot (win/freebsd) I was using symlinks in the freebsd $HOME to the fat32 drive without problems, so thanks for this answer. Meanwhile, I just posted the 2nd of my questions to -hackers about finding a boot manager that can handle booting linux from a logical volume (which grub can do) and multiple freebsds. From what you wrote above it sounds like you have the "multiple freebsd" problem licked, perhaps you could take a look at my post on -hackers and help me out there too? :-/ Pressing my luck, Doug
