Yes you can...It is similar to Linux as Chris said, BUT as you may know
it NEEDS a primary partition. Linux can boot from anywhere but *BSD's
need a primary partition to boot. Have fun rebuilding all of your stale
ports LOL. If this is a desktop machine you'll spend a bit of time
getting it up to date. I'm a BSD user as well.

Thanks for the warning, and yup, it's a desktop. Yes I'd heard about the
building from source thing :-) Will freeBSD's bootloader detect the Linux
partitions? Or would I need to backup the menu.lst and modify FreeBSD's BL ?
OpenSolaris's bootloader didn't pick up the Debian partition which is why
I'm asking.
