Hi there,
I reccently (yesterday) tried out PC-BSD/FreeBSD the first time and first I have to say thank you a lot!
In the last 10 years I never was impressed about a new distribution of any OS I've seen like PC-BSD.
Now I tried to make a dualboot on the same disk with centOS (I need it actually for learning all the rpm based linux distribution stuff). First I had problems when configuring my disk that it doesn't let the not partitioned space for free but this is another issue. So I took the simple way of configuration at the and just create parition and click on it to install. Because I have the first primary partition for linux fs and the second for swap, the PC-BSD get the third. Somehow I couldn't add a swap partition bigger than 999mb as the 4th device so I decided to wait with that.
The installation went fine I've got no errors.
This is my disklabel.
and this here is my grub.conf (I use grub legacy).
What's your advice?
