Hi, In the AutoPartition method if I do any modification, (like delete the /, and recreate it by pressing 'C' key=20 (or) delete the /usr and create /efi & /usr) Once I press the 'Q' button, there is an error message=20 saying that 'Cannot write to disk da0'.=20 What is the problem? (this stop installing FreeBSD and taking me back to initial Install Menu) But If I do autopartition and press 'Q' button, it works fine.=20 But it doesn't create EFI partition If one is not there. Also=20 it doesn't make entries in the EFI Boot menu. How can I add boot=20 entry to EFI menu? With minimal install I can able to install=20 FreeBSD using AutoPartition but EFI is not there. So I couldn't=20 boot FreeBSD. There is no facility to change the partition types in DiskLabel editor=20 (like toggling the SoftUpdates). I have to delete the partition and I=20 have to recreate it with desired type. So better we can replace it with FDISK=20 For FreeBSD/IA64. If Marcel can create another snapshot( I guess new fixes got into tree) , I can install and contribute further. Anybody is making a document (kind of HOWTO) on Installing/Booting FreeBSD on IA64? Thanks. --T. Muthu Mohan
