See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html You might want to consider sticking with FreeBSD 8.3 which I think only supports MPR partitioning. FreeBSD 9.0 supports both MBR and the newer GPT scheme so you would have to work out how to choose during the installation. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html Chris
