I see no reason why it can't boot of my drive after installing FreeBSD, although this is not my first BSD install, but is there anything specific that must be set during the install (I doubt)? I have erased all the slices on the drive then pressed on "A" to create the FreeBSD slice Automatically (it created three slices and one of them is ad0s1 and I have no clue what are the other two for), then I Auto labeled the slices from the installer and continued the installation. :( -- Sincerely, Yousef Raffah
