Yes, I'm using grub but yes, I also installed from Linux. The problem 
seems to be GEOM, which doesn't allow to write the bootsector to a disk 
which has mounted filesystems on it. So if you have / on the bootdisk, 
there's no chance but to boot grub from floppy and install it from 
there.

Ahm, nearly. There seems to be a sysctl (...geom.debug=16 ?) which 
allows to write the bootsector, but you better ask phk directly - I'm 
not sure...
