It turns out it wasn't in the install CD mfsroot, and thus not accessible from the fixit shell, so I've put some new install CDs from today's -CURRENT here: http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/FreeBSD-9.0-20100418-SNAP-powerpc/ The directions at http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/ppcinstall.txt should then apply to real CDs that you can download. The addition of gpart will make it into 8.1-RELEASE as well. -Nathan
