For as long as I remember, FreeBSD has had issues booting a kernel
beyond the first 1GB of a disk.  Some time last year, changes were made
that allowed for this, but they were backed out because they caused
other problems, and I don't remember them being brought back in.

-----------------

I have been running -CURRENT on my ACER laptop for a long time now, with a
primary partition using windows at 20 GB and then a BSD partition for the
remaining 40 GB, and have had no use of a primary root partition before my
windows partition, it works for me(tm)
