This is what I've got:
# gpart show ada0
=> 63 625142385 ada0 MBR (298G)
63 121274683 - free - (57G)
[snip]
IIUC I now have to do:
# gpart add -s 64k -t freebsd-boot -l boot0 ada0
# gpart add -s 8G -t freebsd-swap -l swap0 ada0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 256k -l root0 ada0
Here I already don't understand how large the swap should be. Really 2 *
size of the RAM?
I also don't know if 256k is a sane alignment value, I just copied this
from a howto.
How to continue after this is done?
I want to use GRUB from my Linux installs, this is the Linux menu.lst:
timeout 8
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title FreeBSD 9.0
root (hd0,a)
kernel /boot/loader
