Hi Andrej, I didn´t follow this thread, so pardon if my answer answer is completely useless. You´re trying to dual-boot WinXX and FreeBSD, but have problems with the partition types, right? > any progress/solution regarding this problem?

To avoid a non-booting-system by using type 165, you could try a boot-manager which implements partition-hiding (i.e. changing partition type on the fly after having chosen the desired OS). Never was forced to use it myself, but www.xosl.org claims to be able to do this. In fact I´m using xosl as boot manager and it does a great job on all my OS including FreeBSD and WinXX. You can download it including ranish partition-manager (a better kind of fdisk). So boot into xosl, adjust your types with ranish as desired and then configure in the xosl menu, which partitions should be hidden with some OS. Just a guess.
