Install the Protected MBR (pmbr) and gptboot loader Fixit# gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0 Then install FreeBSD and add this: echo 'vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/mfid0p2"' >> /boot/loader.conf After rebooting (system not booting) i see message: is unable to find loader at /boot/loader or can it load /boot/kernel/kernel I load from DVD and go to Fixit Copying /boot/loader to /loader allows me to enter /loader at the "boot:" prompt and the loader will load, however, its unable to load the kernel. If I do an "ls" at the loader prompt I can see boot listed as a directory (with a "d" before it) Trying to do "ls boot" inexplicably it says "boot: not a directory" >How-To-Repeat: do next step: 1.Create the boot, swap and UFS partitions: Fixit# gpart add -s 64K -t freebsd-boot mfid0 Fixit# gpart add -s 8G -t freebsd-swap -l swap0 mfid0 Fixit# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l disk0 mfid0 2.
