No. sysinstall only mounts /, it doesn't mount the other partitions. The buggy code is in install.c in sysinstall where it does the newfs and mount bit since it doesn't check for top-level partitions being filesystems and swap, etc. Also, there is _another_ bug that you can't create a filesystem for the remaining space. sysinstall complains that the partition is too big. *sigh* I'm going to try to work on at least the first bug today. > The installer links /boot to /efi/boot, so you cannot mount the EFI > partition as /boot/efi. Set the mount point to /efi. It would be good to document this or better yet fix sysinstall to choose '/efi' as the default mount point for EFI. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
