I've set up a dual boot (FBSD/P9) machine twice, once in 2000 (R3) and
once a few months ago. Both times it seemed natural to install P9 first
on its own primary partition and then leave the FBSD bootloader to
recognize it later, when FBSD is installed.

Both times it worked fine, with the exception that the 3.4 release MBR
prompted me 'F1: Plan 9' and the current one (4.4, when it was installed)
does a 'F1: ??'...

Not a really useful post, but who knows -- someone may stumble upon it
on google :)
