You can manually stamp the bsd bootloader if you like, just not
via the gui. Right click the background and bring up xterm to
runany comand you like.<br>

Was selecting the boot loader for installation taken out for
installing along side other OSes? I want to use the boot
loader because I also have OpenBSD installed. Is it only
full disk installations now?<br>

The option for installing the PCBSD bootloader was removed
from 9.0 because it interfered with currently installed boot
loaders (such as EasyBCD, GAG, and the windows bootloader) and
required some additional "magic" to reset your bootloaders
after installing PCBSD. However, this does -NOT- mean that
PCBSD is only for full-disk installations, you can still dual
(or more) boot with PCBSD by installing into a specific
primary partition. You will simply need to modify your
existing boot loader to include PCBSD afterwords.<br>
<br>
If you do not have a bootloader (or simply want to use a
different one), I recommend GAG because it is simple and easy
to use, but there are many others that also work without any
problems.<br>

I would like to know whether it is possible to use the FreeBSD
bootloader, if I installed it as my personal choice of a
bootloader. I might also need to know how, at least in general
terms.<br>
<br>
In addition to that, I would like to know how/why/where the
FreeBSD bootloader that was installed with v8.2 which remained
after an install of v9.0beta1.0 on a second partition, disappeared
after installing v9.0beta2.0 on the first partition while the
second partition was a fresh install of v8.2? And when I say
'partition' I mean in the sense of it being created outside of BSD
and would be recognized by Windows.<br>
<br>
I can certainly explain better if necessary, since I tend to be
terse.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Speaking of dual boot. If anyone gets this working let me know. I
still only see one FULL partition in any order of
partitioning/installing (Win7 first = PC-BSD sees one unused
partition OR PC-BSD first and Win7 can't install on my hard drive as
it is greyed out).<br>
