hi there
I reccently yesterday tried out PcBSD the first time and first I have to say thank you a lot!
In the last 10 years I never was impressed about a new distribution of any os ive seen like pcbsd.
now I tried to make a dualboot on the same disk with centOS(I need it actually for learning all the rpm based linux distribution stuff). first I had problems when configure my disk that it doesnt let the not partitioned space for free but this is another issue.
so I took the simple way of configuration at the and just create parition and click on it to install. because I have the first primary partition for linux fs and the second for swap, the pcbsd get the third.some how I couldnt add a swap partition bigger than 999mb as the 4th device so I decided wait with that
the installation went fine ive got no erros
this is my disklabel
