Trying to create a bootable USB device (memory stick) with gpart - and failed. I need those USB mem sticks for BIOS flashing purposes on an older main PCB, utilizing FreeDOS. The old BIOS is capable of booting off from USB mem sticks, since I booted and installed FreeBSD via this method. But the creation of a bootable FreeDOS USB mem stick failed. I have FreeBSD 9.0 as a mastering operating system and 8 GB sticks. These are the boundary conditions. Is there any way to perform this task with gpart? Thanks in advance. Oliver
