There is another issue, the fact that each type of partition has a label
number. if the partition is labeled "linux" then it will not work. this is
easy remedied by using either fbsd's or linux's fdisk and changing the
partition label. -P

Can I assume that this partition will be the same for FreeBSD as for Linux ?  What do I need to know to install an "app" intended for Linux but will be targeted for FreeBSD.  Is it just the ELF vs a.out issue or are there other considerations.
