  I think I owed eveyone an apology for not completely describing the
problem. Firstly, I don't really bother where and how the disk is writen and
allocated.... as long as the OS can find it. That IS the problem.... the OSes
can't find it.. The initial partition allocations were 1 and 2, one was a
/usr mount for Linux and the other is a FreeBSD partition (containing the
root slice). Once that got changed to 3,4, Linux is easy to fix, but since I
can't get FreeBSD's Fixit disk to work and having no installation CD, there
is no way I know that can edit the configuration in FreeBSD and get it to act
accordingly.

Alas, as mentioned, the problem is fixed and everything is back to normal.
But still, I would like to know what's cause it so I won't repeat what I did.
All I know is that I did something obviously stupid but can't remember and
seem like a good idea then.

Again, sorry about the mis-information.

Regit.
