When I finally install bootloader now with kern.geom.debugflags=16 trick, 
it works OK for me too. But not before when there was some MBR written by 
Windows.

So, never use Windows, it is dangerous, use our protection instead. It 
prevents any changes. No changes - no mistakes.

(perhaps just permanently unplug keyboard to feel even more safe?)

Seriously, any sysadmin who try to install FreeBSD for the first time and 
see he can't edit partition, just throw out the CD and install Linux 
instead which allows anything for root in that area.
