You can't do that, because that partition is sub-partitioned by the BSD scheme. Since you want bootcode in the BSD scheme, you need to add bootcode to ad6s1. > > This is amd64, stable/7, gpart-only kernel (gpart_mbr, gpart_bsd). Bootcode for the BSD scheme is not present in 7-STABLE yet. I just recently added that to -CURRENT (I must have missed it) and I need to get around MFCing it. Feel free to do the MFC for me. The code has been in -CURRENT long enough to do a MFC. FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
