I haven't had any of these problems, either with FreeBSD, OpenBSD or even
NetBSD. I've always allocated a primary partition (the only way AFAIK...)
for *BSD (via "fdisk" or Partition Magic)and then used the slice editor in
the installation to divide up the slice.
Booting with Lilo, GRUB or the *BSD Boot Manager hasn't been a problem,
either.
What sort of corruption are you seeing?
Cheers
Eamon Roque.
