thanks guys for your useful reply.
thanks Polytropon for your complete answer. it helps me a lot. just i
don't know how use boot manager yet. i create gpt partitions and install 2
freebsd 9.2 on them (ada0p2 is / for the first OS and ada0p6 is / for the
second one) but after restart, none of them boot.
should i copy pmbr and gptboot by "gpart bootcode" command on ada0?
(although i do it and nothing change) if not, where is boot manager and how
should i use it? i think something should be done about boot partition
(ada0p1), don't it? please help me to boot my 2 OS correctly.
thanks in advance
