Yes, I'm using grub but yes, I also installed from Linux. The problem
seems to be GEOM, which doesn't allow to write the bootsector to a disk
which has mounted filesystems on it. So if you have / on the bootdisk,
there's no chance but to boot grub from floppy and install it from
there.
Ahm, nearly. There seems to be a sysctl (...geom.debug=16 ?) which
allows to write the bootsector, but you better ask phk directly - I'm
not sure...
