Is there any resolution to this? I had the same problem upgrading from
7.0 - 7.2. I've been running FreeBSD dual-boot for over 10 years w/o
this problem in the past.
I re-ran my fdisk script from an old 6.x boot disk recovered the XP
partitions, but can't boot 7.2. Re-installing 7.2 kills XP.
The xorg-server port has an option not to use hal. But it is enabled by
default.

The idea is that
we have 2 static ip addresses with a machine running 7.2 connected to
each.
one is the primary server, while the other does only dns and receives
bkp dumps from the first.
we want to set things up so the 2nd can be brought on line at a moment's

therefore, we are thinking of rsync to
that do zcat [partition image.gz] /dev/partition
We have a two step process. First we run a script that creates the

the -C option of pkg_add and the DESTDIR option of the various OS
install scripts. We only run this script
