I am slightly concerned about aligning MBR to 4k, because of the way the bootloader is stuffed into the partition. Aligning the partitions caused the machine to not boot correctly, however aligning the BSD partition table inside the MBR first, seems to work. The patch is currently awaiting review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3062 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
