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 s= pace is left on the disk. They can also modify existing partitions with gpart modify -i(partition num= ber) -t filesystem type geometry.=20 http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot I know it isn't the install co= mmands but I used it as a guide.=20 =A0Ports should be suggested as an addon after the base is installed.=A0 In= terface bm0 was not brought up until after. besides that and me not knowing how to get to dd on the disc, it went prett= y 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.
