The following reply was made to PR bin/161931; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "joeb1" <joeb1@a1poweruser.com> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org>, <fbsd8@a1poweruser.com> Cc: Subject: Re: bin/161931: bsdinstall(8): (add sysinstall partition config as option) Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 09:28:42 +0800 Yes I mean the mbr+bsdlabel method as there is no other method available in sysinstall. And along with this, help info needs to be added explaining under what conditions one method or the other is used. Help saying something along the lines of older PC bios./hard drives use the mbr+bsdlabel sysinstall method and newer PC bios./hard drives (manufactured 2010+) need to use the bsdinstall method because pc manufactures and Microsoft have changed the boot process. Or what ever is the true reason for this difference. Installers need to have the correct info so they can make the correct decision about what method to select.
