--- Comment #2 from Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org> ---
The issue here is that bsdinstall made an 800 KB partition because it thinks
the system booted by UEFI. Part of this is lazy coding on my part, which can be
fixed, but the problem is triggered by the fact that the i386 kernel does not
expose the machdep.bootmethod sysctl that the amd64 one does. I can fix this in
bsdinstall, but we may also want to provide the same sysctl on i386 for
consistency.
