Daniel, please let me know if > I've madea mistake. This is actually rnordier/jhb arena. Though I can reply to this. Packet mode is not supported. Installation on partitions above 8 Gb is not supported. The existing packet mode support in boot0cfg is a work in progress, and is known to have problems. A mention of it on the FAQ would be in order, though. As for the "need" to having an obvious way to undo Windows damage, I disagree. But, anyway, this is convered on the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/install.html#AEN480 If the user refrains from making use of the existing recommended documentation, there is really not much point in expanding it. -- Daniel C.
