Well that's true, I guess it won't be too bad a solution if I put Freebsd raidz as the first boot option in BIOS and then use the keyboard F8 boot menu, Gigabyte MB FX I forget which one exactly will give me a menu of drives to boot from, then I can boot to Win7 and play my Starcraft II, Warcraft III from there. I guess it would be the same as choosing an entry from Grub2. Time for bed... I'll look at this some more in the mornin
