https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211715 --- Comment #3 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> --- Another workaround, good for most cases: Use gdisk <http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/>; to relocate backup data structures to the end of the disk. gdisk is included with GParted Live. So far I have encountered four computers that will not boot a FreeBSD-based operating system without post-installation attention to the GPT. Two HP, two Apple. ---- The most recent case is the first for which gdisk relocation of backup data structures was _not_ a workaround. HP EliteBook 8540p with recently released GhostBSD 10.3 <http://www.ghostbsd.org/10.3_enoch>. In this case I took the same approach as in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211715#c2 above. Specifically, I booted GParted Live from a USB flash drive then used GParted to: a) shrink the fat16 file system /dev/sda1 by 1 MiB (from 100 to 99 MiB); and then b) create a corresponding amount of free space before that partition. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
