What are the ramifications, good or bad, of not using partitions on a FreeBSD disk?.
My understanding is that if you use partitions in a standard way, other operating systems that may be or in the future be on the system in question will not wipe out your FreeBSD installation on the "dangerously dedicated" disk. There is nothing inherent wrong with DD but it is more dangerous if other OSes may be involved. I have used both sorts of layouts and have never had any problems, yet again, my computers were servers that would never have another OS anywhere near them...
