May be I'm missing something here, because I don't see any relation  
between USB and the CF card. I should have mentioned that my CF card  
is plugged in a dedicated CF slot on the motherboard. It's on a UDMA  
bus:

CF card:
ad0: 1953MB <SanDisk SDCFX-2048 HDX 4.04> at ata0-master UDMA66

SATA #1 (boot):
ad4: 239372MB <WDC WD2500YS-01SHB0 20.06C03> at ata2-master SATA150

SATA #2:
ad6: 239372MB <WDC WD2500YS-01SHB0 20.06C03> at ata3-master SATA150

If I want to go with grub, should I install it on both systems ?  
(FreeBSD on ad4 and nanoBSD on ad0)
