Well, I been reading where utilizing PXE network booting would allow the computer to NOT allow the CD/DVD booting of the network (not sure about USB). So it seems that FreeBSD as a SERVER this does add another level of network security. But as far as a MS Desktop Windows there is no excuse what-so-ever but the money per-devices per-OS to be made, for FREE.

Now I understand what roddierod meant when he said "gpt is better". He was referring to server use only as it should be since this is UNIX. Only i lost focus so sorry about that FreeBSD. Anyway, now we got a choise from of secure-booting a network or happiness of muti-booting a private desktop(s) and server(s) and all you have to do is drop the FBSD partition back between the GPT, the jail for the HDD, as you make improvement to it elsewhere ... it's a WIN! WIN! situation and you save a bank-roll too

bye.
