All was well when I had 3.2 installed with FreeBSD on the third partition. I upgraded to 3.3, and it could no longer find /boot/loader. This has continued with a clean install of 3. (I needed to move partitions around). The loader correctly offers three choices of linux, dos, and freebsd for the three partitions. It will remember to keep defaults properly as well. However, when trying to boot freebsd, it returns the error "invalid partition", and defaults to (0,a) rather than (0,c). If I manually type in the wd(0,c), with or without /boot/loader appended, it successfully boots. But the problem returns the next time, when (0,a) will again be the default. I've told it to reinstall the boot loader several times. I've compiled the kernel successfully as well. Nonetheless, the problem persists. Any ideas?
