I re-installed a hp zx6000 from the new ftp2.freebsd.org images. The
system booted find except during the install I kept getting errors 
about not being able to download / extract all sorts of thing. 
These I answered with (N)o retry and eventually got the system 
installed. 

I am not sure if the stuff is actually missing or not !

Could some kind sole please explain how this efi partition and
FreeBSD are meant to fit together. I eventually installed on the first 
disk with what I hoped would be an efi partition p1 and freeBSD in p2.
I was unable to find a device file for p1 hence could not mount it
to install the loader/kernel.

My solution was to edit /etc/fstab, moving everything to disk2 and swap
disk1 and disk2. I then installed an empty efi using the linux enablement
kit from HP; mounted it and copied /boot to where it was needed.

PS how is the SMP-VHPT stuff getting on or should I disable the 2nd Processor?
