I'm new to FreeBSD but not unix/linux. Currently I have a multiboot setup
with several linux systems on one 160G hard drive. I have created a 6G
primary partition for FreeBSD type A5 (hex).

Do I need to create a separate / , /home and /swap partitions in this space?

What boot loader does Free BSD use?

I would like to preserve my current grub which resides in the mbr and wonder
if its possible to dual boot FreeBSD with linux.

I apologize if this is the wrong group so any help or links to other
newsgroups welcome. Thx in advance.
