X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:52:22 -0000 Looking at the release notes it seems FreeBSD 8 now supports booting from a GPT formatted partition but going through the installer it seems, please correct me if I'm wrong, that its still no possible to actually install using a standard disk1 to a clean machine with a large disk? I've found a number things articles on how to achieve this on previous versions, but they are all quite complex and was hoping there was a nice easy way on 8.0 given the improvements listed in the release notes.
