Hi, thanks for your answer with your experiences :) Despite that you are true here: > There are as many strategies for partitioning as there are system > administrators. I'm more interested in the *allowed* options, as the way FreeBSD does things breaks *my* traditional MBR disk disposal and/or understanding of space usage on a MBR partitioned disk, where I have 1-3 primary part..., sorry, slices ;), and loads (and when I mean loads, I mean a few) of logical in an extended slice. And, so, I want to be sure what is allowed given the questions I made. If I'm correct in my assumption with the 3rd case shown, or totally wrong. Then, I could get a broader idea of what to do when I decide to install on a physical disk (first I'll try on VM, and before waste the time in a VM, better ask). Hacking the intaller is way, waaaaay beyond my knowledge to do things and without understanding the basics, worse. I could do all automatic, but I'm those that prefer to do manually knowing what I'm doing. Or at least, what is happening in the background. I think, somehow, this could be better explained at the beginning of the installation in the HandBook. Regards.
