Linux extended partition after FreeBSD slice

2006-11-05 Thread Bobby Knight
Hello

I want to install Linux in an extended partition after my FreeBSD slice so that 
I won't loose unecessary primary partitions to Linux because I want to install 
other OS:es too.

Are there any problens with this do you think?

This, I think rather old article, recommends to install FreeBSD slice after 
Linux extended partition:

It may not be an issue for Linux itself, but IIRC some (most? all?)
of the Linux loaders need to have the Linux kernel located within
the first 1K cylinders or some such, because those loaders use BIOS
services to read in the kernel.

Not GRUB, it couldn't care less where the kernel is.
