Though I still wonder why after FreeBSD has touched the partitions
table, PartitionMagic finds "errors" outside the *nix territory.
It is somehow irritating to ignore "errors" all the time. I can see
that FreeBSD is made on first place to live alone, but it would be
nicer if it could live together with other OS in peace.
Yeah, but if everything works, why mess with it? PM is overly-verbose
in this case and has a tendency to misunderstand what's going on.
NOTE: Do not try what I have down below if it wants to 'play' with
any FreeBSD partitions! Also, if you _don't_ have the latest version of
PM and/or are running this on XP SP2, you may completely bork some of
your Windows partitions so please consider doing what I suggest with
extreme caution!
If you really want to see what happens, what I suggest-before trying
this-is to make a bootdisk of FreeBSD and the PM bootdisk, then test it
by confirming and rebooting. Most likely you'll have an issue booting
into one OS or another, but if that's true you can boot to your XP CD
and just reload the ntloader into the MBR and you'll be fine. I'm just
suggesting making FreeBSD/PM bootdisks just in case.

Hm... This is somehow too shadowy and time intensive (to reproduce the
"errors" I need to reinstall FreeBSD).
Hey Garrett, thank you for exploring the issue with me!
I'll leave it as it is for now (with the "errors" "fixed" by PM) and
just use it to see how is it going. Both OS'es boot fine and it starts
to feel as a waste of time to dig deeper into the it. Perhaps in future
there will be bits and pieces that will assemble themselves into a
proper answer.
Thanks a lot again, really :)
