Recenlty I have installed FreeBSD on 13Gb HDD at second partition after 8Gb border,and, for my pity, nor FreeBSD boot manager, nor Partition Magic 4 boot manager couldn't load FreeBSD from this partition. You have to do next: or re-partitioned your HDD to 4Gb (Win start)/4-6Gb (FreeBSD start)/10-12Gb (rest), or wait me :-) I try to find some other nice boot manager, which, I remember, able to boot any partition from any place, but, unfortunately, it has complelety Russian interface.If I find it, I'll send it to you (if you need :-) ) -- With Best Regards.
