Hi
   presario r3000 amd64 freebsd-current 7.0
   ad0: 76319MB Hitachi DK23FA-80
   da0 HP Digital drive 1.00 > Removable direct access SCSI -0 Device
   dual XP/FreeBSD with easy boot
   used sysinstall to configure da0 as entire freebsd
          da0s1a  /tmp      390MB
          da0s1d  /tmp/usr 600MB
   used gtar to transfer / to /mnt
                    transfer /usr to /mnt/usr  (Cheat Sheet)
   usb bootable (bios) shows
        F1 ?              (win)
        F2 Freebsd
        F5 Drive 1
  But will not boot . I did same thing on desktop with a second hard drive
and it booted fine. Is it because memory card is not really a hard drive?
Any way to do it ?
   Thank's
      Damon
  and thank's so much for freebsd (my whole life)
