The FreeBSD boot manager works great, it will automagicly detect your  
partitions and allow you to boot them.

Does you ADSL modem act as router?

Locate works the same as in Linux:
Update you database, type:
periodic weekly
to update it
them just type locate foobar
Also take a look at /etc/locate.rc
