Okay, thanks for the link. I was not aware of that.
However, I do think there's more to it than that. After all, Slackware was
able to install LILO without any problems whatsoever. Both Vista and Linux
would boot just fine.
This has been informative-- perhaps someone ought to file a PR about having
the installer try to preserve this UID in the MBR...?

...which I have backed up to both an external Firewire drive, and have set up
a copy of this 250MB Maxtor onto a pair of WDC WD3200AAKS (320GB SATA2) drives
in a nV RAID-1 mirror on an MSI-7220 (K8N) motherboard. A clone of the
FreeBSD 6.2 [32-bit] system worked fine modulo changing the disk device names
in /etc/fstab, using the stock FreeBSD bootloader.
[ It's since been upgraded to RELENG_7 via 7.0RC1-amd64... ]
The Windows XP-Pro(SP2) clone of the disk boots far enough to display the blue
sVGA graphics, but never presents a login prompt. It's not going to be a big
pain to reinstall of the system if I have to, but I'd be happier getting the
clone working than having to merge changes in from a failing drive.
Regards,
