https://www.gridbugs.org/ntfs-on-freebsd/ says:

"This is one of the least helpful error messages I can imagine. gpart doesn=
=E2=80=99t
let you create a partition with type =E2=80=9Cntfs=E2=80=9D on a disk with =
a GPT partition
table. You=E2=80=99d need to make a MBR partition table instead."

So, why cannot gpart just create a ms-basic-data partition if the user want=
s to
create something like FATxxx or NTFS partitions on GPT disks?
