I'm about to install FreeBSD onto a new drive and since I like to play with a wast amount of OS' I need to be carefull on how I organise my drives. So I've been reading through Handbook to see which limitation FreeBSD is posing onto the drives. I've found that FreeBSD is still "hogging" a primary partition/slice and I've only got 4 partition within a slice, a-d being reserved and h being the maximum. Why is it limited to h? Last time I installed FreeBSD I recall that / was needed to be located below 8GB for it to boot. Is this limitation still in act or am I free to boot from anywhere on the drive? Can't find anything about it in the Handbook.
