I've installed a protective mbr. Nothing >> appears to work. None of this makes sense * what fs are you installing to (ufs, zfs) I created a GPT volume, then freebsd-boot of 512KB, freebsd-ufs of 1TB, and freebsd-swap of 32GB * where are you installing from (cdrom I presume?) Yes * "I've installed a protective mbr" - With GPT?? Yes, gpart man page says you can do it with or without a "protective MBR". I've tried both ways. * do you have FreeBSD already running on the OR a system? No. I have been running Freebsd since 1998, but currently don't have a machine with it. >> Does bsdinstall write boot code to gpt partitions? >> Under what circumstances would you use bios-boot or efi partitions? This is well documented No, it isn't. Tell me where. >> The drive is a 3TB Toshiba USB 3.0 external drive. That's why building and installing from source is always preferred. One of the kernel modules needed for the usb/hdd chain may not hev been loaded by the default settings. >> The laptop is an Intel CORE i7. This should run amd64, not ia64? Well, yes of course... http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-hardware.html I checked that. It doesn't specifically mention the CORE i3, i5, or i7 architectures. I went to Intel's site and there's no mention of EMT64 capability on the i7. ----- FreeBSD-11-current_amd64_root-on-zfs_RadeonKMS -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Installing-FreeBSD-10-0-to-GPT-volume-t p5897719p5897734.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
