Thanks for the reply, Alan=2E
As mentioned above; the disk is GPT/UFS(2)=2E I chose "custom" from the disk
layout dialog from the install media=2E I chose UFS/softupdates, and later,
after getting a successful boot onto the drive=2E I added journaling=2E
But that's it=2E Nothing fancy=2E

Thanks again=2E
