there's nothing you can do.
On the other hand, your desktop machine is probably only about two

In my experience, vinum doesn't play well with GEOM, and gvinum isn't

I've got a machine with FreeBSD on it. Recently, I added another drive,
on which I put Windows. Given that I don't really trust the Windows
install program with my MBR, I unplugged the FreeBSD drive during the
install.
Now, the FreeBSD bootloader can't load windows; if I unplug the FreeBSD

The network setup around here gives me a static IP for the wired

Can anybody point me at some documenation for mounting a samba share at boot
time? I'm used to the linux-style trick of adding it to fstab and pointing it
at a credentials file, but am pretty sure that won't work in FreeBSD.
I'm running 5.3-RELEASE.
