why don't you do the easy way with grub? I know this is a freebsd forum and people don't like grub but you already have linux on your hard drive!
What I have on the same hard drive now is : Linux, Win, FreeBSD. I am using BSD at the moment.
I had Win installed first from DELL on my D420.

found it ! thanks again ! ( so I don't have to re-install freebsd )
But still I could not make keyboard and mouse work under vmware.
Go gnome !
On a XP machine, I have vmware player installed and have freebsb8.0/kde4 installed:
On the /ect/rc.conf I have added:
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"
kdm4_enable="YES"
and on ~/.xinitrc:
PATH=/usr/local/kde4/bin:$PATH

Let's say that we have a system with many ports on it and we are happy with the set up.
Now we want to create a meta-port to remember this instance of the system (to find all ports having been added so we can put them into the RUN_DEPENDS+= list). Is there a good way to do this?
I am still...
I have had it long long time ago. I gave up and burn a DVD instead to re-install freebsd.
My laptop, DELL D420, can triple boot: win/linux/bsd. I don't like VB or VMware.
Linux/bsd can access to other OS partitions but not Win! :P
Too much build time required on freebsd to make...
DOS has 4 partitions (in the MBR). FreeBSD only uses one of those. Inside FreeBSD (partition), it has 5 slices (they are / /var /tmp .....).
The other 3 DOS partions were blank because there is none!
So you don't lose anything.
It happened to me too. At the end, I went out and bought DVD+RW discs to burn on; and it worked perfectly, no more blank screen! Spend more money on the DVD and forget the USB stick.
@ fbsd1: I have tried your script, fbsdiso2usb, and it created a bootable USB stick (I replaced disc1 with dvd1 iso image).
However, a couple things should be considered:
1. if the usb stick is one like mine; it would hang and it makes the system crash with a <ctrl>+C !
2. the script...
1. Borrow a freeBSD machine.
2. Download the ISO image to somewhere with enough space (need maybe 5G extra)
3. Take that ISO and make an USB stick bootable by running the script, something like :
./iso2flash.sh -t bsd 8.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso /dev/da0
(note: I haven't tried to use the USB...
I used unetbootin on Windows to create a bootable 2G-USB with the 8.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.
I can boot from it. But when it goes to "Choose Installation Media"; what should I choose?
Based on this it is supposed to be option 7 (from an existing filesystem) and then /mnt. Is this correct...
