Freebsd loader in sysinstall for 7.0 doesn't seem to support booting off GPT partition. This will become a common issue when commodity disks grow over 2TB, (MBR handoffs will likely become less common). >How-To-Repeat: Try to install FreeBSD on an EFI board, and get sysinstall to boot off the GPT partition. >Fix: Patch/Hack good ol' sysinstall. Run through Pawel's ZFS boot notes to see if his boot/install hacking to sysinstall have been fruitful. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
