It was supposed to come with windows 7 that I was going to toss. As it came with 10 I shrunk the windows partition and installed 10.3. Getting: => 63 3907029105 ada0 MBR (1.8T) 63 1985 - free - (993K) 2048 204800 1 ntfs (100M) 206848 833284096 2 ntfs (397G) 833490944 1 - free - (512B) 833490945 3070230471 4 freebsd [active] (1.4T) 3903721416 1769528 - free - (864M) 3905490944 1536000 3 !39 (750M) 3907026944 2224 - free - (1.1M) => 0 3070230471 ada0s4 BSD (1.4T) 0 6291456 1 freebsd-ufs (3.0G) 6291456 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 14680064 41943040 4 freebsd-ufs (20G) 56623104 83886080 5 freebsd-ufs (40G) 140509184 2929721286 6 freebsd-ufs (1.4T) 3070230470 1 - free - (512B) The FBSD install overwrote the MBR to boot the BSD partition. Can I [easily] get a duel boot out of this. Or, is there a better way to install FBSD as not to wipe out what's there?
