I don't know why boot loader makes intensive reads when installed on partition created by another fdisk (windows, linux, etc) and started by GRUB2. There is a workaround for this, you have to create all partitions with freebsd sysinstall included windows and linux partitions. After this do install for all others OSes using those partitions created by sysinstall. In my case there are 03 OSes installed on same HD: 1: Windows boot loader: 1023MB 2: Windows 7: 50GB 3: PCBSD 8.0: 70GB * -> 5: Linux 108GB 6: Linux swap This problem can be tested before install if you run sysinstall and choses partiotion menu if you receive alerts like this: "Partition X does not end on cylinder boundary" you will have problem with GRUB2. I'm using GRUB2 from Ubuntu 9.10 with this entry in file /etc/grub.d/40_custom: menuentry "FreeBSD/PCBSD 8.0 AMD64" { set root=(hd0,3) chainloader +1 } All works fine! Paulo.
