Do you have a normal PC with SATA? Then the internal disk should be some /dev/adaX. X should be 0 but also can be some other number depending on your hardware. You should have then some slices/partitions on that device. One other thing which should not affect you. Did you install the GTP schema? Is it sure that your machine can boot from it? > I tried the same devfs commands as above and the results are the > same as above.

But installing a desktop is normally the smallest problem. Erich
