You can use gpart from the command line to partition the disk. Something like this: For example, to install the bootloader and make a 10G partition on disk ad0: gpart add -s 800K -t '!Apple_Bootstrap' ad0 dd if=/boot/boot1.hfs of=/dev/ad0sXX gpart add -s 10G -t freebsd-ufs ad0 newfs /dev/ad0sXX There should be a new version of sysinstall capable of doing this before 8.1, but for now you will have to muck about with this by hand. -Nathan Thomas Fritz wrote: > Ok.
