Hello Sorry, I forgot to thank PHcoder.
Thank you also PHcoder, with Bean's patch, and your enchancements/patch-of-patch, I should be able to successfully install FreeBSD 64-bit onto a Logical Partition (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3248), by using the GRUB2 bootloader, instead of the FreeBSD BootLoader. So much thanks to both PHcoder and Bean! You have greatly helped me (and others), this will help me so much!!!
