 Hi all,
 
 i have just install DP2; and i have some little questions :
 
 could i  mount /boot to a separate partition (label) ?

That was something that people had in mind when /boot was created, but
I don't know if the support is actually there yet.

 why is the a lilo file in /boot ? compatibility ?

There isn't..perhaps you're confusing a FreeBSD file with a LILO file
that has the same name.

 i also checked /etc/rc.d/* (rcng) and i have seen that there is again
 'NetBSD' choice (case section), does it will be clean when release ?

I couldn't parse this.

 I saw nfsiod process (ps) but no nfs client/server, how could i disable
 them ?

NFS client/server support is controlled by your kernel configuration file.

says:
This is `liloboot', which creates a file which can be treated like a
Linux kernel image, and is designed to be dropped into a Linux system
and booted via LILO.  Once booted, the user is greeted by the FreeBSD
loader.  This still isn't quite complete, as the the root= specification
from LILO isn't currently passed to the loader yet.
