I have installed FreeBSD 2.x/3.x and have not had any probs with installation - even co-existing with Linux/Windows on a single HDD.

I never said everyone, everywhere had a installer issue with BSD.

However, the PC-BSD v 0.9 something (don't have the CD) installation simply took over an extended partition - no warning no nothing. Luckily for me, the installations on the HDD were expendable.

So it *does* have a few bugs which the developers need to work out. Maybe I encountered a similar bug..! :(

Test the installation of any OS/software on an experimental system before deploying on production system. Also, keep a backup of your "production" installation and data.

Agreed...
