Choose GPT. Create a freebsd-boot partition, size 1M, no mountpoint, label gpboot. Create a freebsd-ufs partition, size 10G, mountpoint /, label gprootfs. On selecting Okay, the partition editor shows: This partition scheme requires a boot partition for the disk to be bootable. Would you like to make one now? Of course, there's already a freebsd-boot partition. >Fix: Add a check for an existing freebsd-boot partition to gpart_ops.c, about line 918. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:home | help
