I have tried everything that I can gleen from the gpart, gptboot, boot0cfg man pages as well as the handbook. I have noticed several bugs in the new install, which I find odd, since it's been around since ver 5 or so. Does bsdinstall write boot code to gpt partitions? I have tried to install several times, even using gpart to write boot code to the GPT partition as well as a freebsd-boot partition. I've installed a protective mbr. Nothing appears to work. The drive is a 3TB Toshiba USB 3.0 external drive. The computer is a Samsung series 7 CHRONOS with Pheonix BIOS with UEFI support. I have tried UEFI enabled and disabled. The laptop is an Intel CORE i7. This should run amd64, not ia64, right? Under what circumstances would you use bios-boot or efi partitions? Neither were shown as examples on gpart man page. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
