I don't understand what does dangerously dedicated has to do with this. If I partition my disk half Windows/half FreeBSD, or even if I have a sole FreeBSD partition, I'm not using dangerously dedicated mode, and still, by your description of the problem, can be affected. Do you have the subject of the thread where this was reported? -- Daniel C.
