Hi all,
i installed CURRENT on a macbook air
(internal ssd as you know):
i noticed the following:
1. on freebsd, deleting a partition with gpart: say
gpart delete -i 4 ada0
dammage the osx boot.
of cours, booting with a backup disk and repairing the disk
make it functional again.
any light woukd be appreciated on this topic.
2. my gpart partitions table looks like this:
=> 34 490234685 ada0 GPT (233G)
34 6 - free - (3.0k)
40 409600 1 efi (200M)
409640 449218744 2 apple-hfs (214G)
449628384 1269536 3 apple-boot (619M)
450897920 256 4 freebsd-boot (128k)
450898176 1024000 5 freebsd-swap (500M)
451922176 38312543 6 freebsd-ufs (18G)
no special mbr: planty of 00 and at offset 1be only the efi table,
mapping the entire disk.
the refit sourceforge project soft,
does not recognizes the gpt freebsd-boot.
and i cannot find how to boot from the internal drive.
i hope i am sufficiently clear?
of course, i can boot at this time from an external FreeBSD drive with
a mbr and a label; this works.
Is it a solution to solve this problem other booting from an external
drive/Usb keyflash card?
Thanks a lot for your time and reply.
Raoul
