 told not to mess with it.
 
 I was wondering what it would take to rework the 5.4 install cd to
 it had a 5stable kernel. IIRC I remember seeing some changes to usb
 code on it some time post 5.4.

Any ways what I did was to get around the problem of it the partition
table and/or mbr being screwed up by 6.0 was just use partition magic
to convert the ntfs partition to fat32. What this did is it allows me
to use the freebsd boot selector. Then I just installed 6.0.
