After "A Use Entire Disk" it ask: Do you want to do this with a true partition entry so as to remain cooperative with any future possible operating systems on the drive(s)? (See also the section about ``dangerously dedicated'' disks in the FreeBSD FAQ.) If press Enter, (answer "Yes"), it leaves out the first "track". If answer "No", it will use entire disk (dangerously dedicated), and create correct entry in the partition table.
