It should be: gpart add -i(partition number) -b ( beginning block number) -s (block size) -t (partition type) geometry. And the person should be suggested to use gpart show geometry to see what space is left on the disk. They can also modify existing partitions with gpart modify -i(partition number) -t filesystem type geometry. http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot I know it isn't the install commands but I used it as a guide. Ports should be suggested as an addon after the base is installed. Interface bm0 was not brought up until after. besides that and me not knowing how to get to dd on the disc, it went pretty smooth. Xorg is being built right now. Thanks for replying. --- On Wed, 4/21/10, Garrett Cooper <yanefbsd@gmail.com> wrote: From: Garrett Cooper <yanefbsd@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Add to howto possibly.
