Why would one leave 1024 full kbits before the first partition on a HDD ?
The second only is only relevant to GPT.

Unfortunately this is impossible.
I'll install FreeBSD, because there's a driver for my sound card, a RME

That should give you additional "security in integrity",

I've to apologize for my broken English.
Regarding to the "comment" line my question is, if it's enough to us a #

Won't be wrong; my understanding of the rule was "2 * size of

I don't see how it could ever come in handy, and I'm not sure it
wouldn't do any hamr either. The /boot/gptboot code to be written weigh

Not in your case. You won't need bootcode other than GRUB's (in the MBR,
and the Linux partition where the bulk of it is installed).

I'm reading http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html at
the moment.
Seemingly there are many outdated howtos first hits for searching with
Google. I frst read 64k for boot and now 512k.

It depends on use patterns and the amount of RAM in your computer. 1.5*
to 2* installed memory is a traditional "works for most" value, but I
feel it's outdated for
