I might do that with one of the two machines I'm playing with. The other machine has 2 disks. One is a sane GPT disk with an EFI and a Windows partition. The other disk has the MBR/GPT problem (due to a previous Linux installation?). For now I'm unsing the EFI partition of the sane disk to boot FreeBSD: if I mount that partition in /boot and add vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:da0s1a" to /boot/loader.conf, then I can recompile the kernel and enjoy unattended reboots. I suppose that as long as nobody tries to use the GPT partitions of the FreeBSD disk then I'm OK. Is that a safe assumption? -- ++*Juan-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
