The default install of FreeBSD 9 uses GPT, so there are no slices or FreeBSD (bsdlabel) partitions. Instead of ad0s1a, it would just be ada0p2. Don't know what Linux calls these partitions, though. > Tried chainloading but that didn't work either probably as no boot-loader got > loaded into the PBR by default. If you want multiboot on a GPT drive, grub2 seems to be the solution. (But I haven't tested it.)
