Hi,
as a long time Linux user I'll test FreeBSD, because I've got issues
with my sound card on Linux. I'm already subscribed to FreeBSD
multimedia.
Perhaps later today I'll install 9.0 amd64. If possible I'll keep my
Linux GRUB legacy. Can I use my menu.lst [1] and add a chainloader or
something
Thank you Damien, Lucas and Juergen :)
btw. the off topic on multimedia is my bad, I wasn't subscribed to
FreeBSD questions.
While reading howtos I missed

With or without deleting, I can't format a bootable FreeBSD partition to
ada0s1, aka Linux /dev/sda1. FWIW if I reinstall GRUB legacy
to /dev/sda, the boot flag will be set for the extended
partition. /dev/sda1 is an empty ext3 partition, size 57.83 GiB.

Compiling was finished, when I woke up at around 7 o'clock. Everything
seems to be ok, but I didn't reboot until now.
If everything should be ok after rebooting, I'll add all the steps to a

Hi :)
is it possible to mount Linux ext3 file systems with fstab by label?
Before I run mount -a /mnt/dump had the same permissions, owner and group
as /mnt/archlinux has got. Is it possible to keep this? Both are Linux

I'm a FreeBSD novice, experienced with Linux audio. If on Linux the

Just use defaults, it will always work more when you use default options.

IIUC Google doesn't like to add pulseaudio and/or jackd support to their
