Basically, I wouldn't trust sysinstall with installing FreeBSD for a
start, and surely not with a recovery procedure where you have exactly 0
tries left in case you fail. So I'm just pointing that out.

PS: Whatever that means, please don't get your sources through

Why? How is KDE, Gnome, XFCE or some potential other desktop environment
different from the literally exactly same one running on, say, Linux?

t this is how it really is.. So
you are mistaken, Nvidia single handedly saved FreeBSD on desktops many
years ago and does it till present times, over and over. No, they're not
that much into charity, but some of their corporate customers run
FreeBSD, so this is the outcome, and it's pretty good).

Don't believe that (see above).

I mean, seriously - "Linux Mint"? (Yes, and sadly, I know it well, but
I'm somewhat baffled that you might be actually looking for that *again*
in a BSD world, like if the Linux version wasn't enough for a lifetime).
So honestly, In that case, for the lov
that on,
you should find partitioning in FreeBSD very easy and intuitive.

Just a quick success report - kern/120138 does indeed solve the Phenom
X3 SCHED_ULE problem.
Attached patch against recent -STABLE in case someone else runs into
it in the near future:
--- sys/kern/sched_ule.c.orig 2008-12-08 05:07:30.0 +0100

Guys, I'd like to point out a still present (rather serious I guess)
problem with SCHED_ULE, possibly triggered when Phenom X3 CPUs are
used.
First time I encountered this problem in early January, it took me
quite a while to narrow the freeze down to ULE with SMP support, well,
after eliminating
