A good example of why technical questions should be sent to
freebsd-questions, instead of to newbies. Don't spread rumours that
FreeBSD must be installed to the second primary partition of the first
harddrive. This is not true.
Right now I'm writing this from a FreeBSD booting from /dev/ad1s1 (first
partition of second IDE drive). At home my FreeBSD boots from /dev/
ad4s1 (first partition of first SATA drive). I have a -CURRENT system
on the same machine at /dev/ad4s3 (third partition of first SATA
drive). My older system booted from /dev/ad1s1 and /dev/ad0s4.
