 I came under that impression because fdisk didn't work, while before
 installing freebsd, it did work. gpart, due to its name and coupled with
 a refusing fdisk, made me jump to the conclusion that I had been given a
 GPT table.
 
 Is there a technical reason that geom is not automatically activated on
 every partition table? It seems to me that unifying these would reduce
 complexity and confusion to the end user. And I see no reason why the
 boot volume has this recognized and activated automatically, but other
 devices don't.
