Hello,

Because I wanted to crypt a /home partition, I tried to make my 
partition and slice using gpart in the fixit environment.

There is the partition I've made :

Fixit # gpart show ad0
=>       63  625142385  ad0  MBR  (298G)
          63  625142385    1  freebsd  [active]  (298G)

Fixit # gpart show ad0s1
=>        0  625142385  ad0s1  BSD  (298G)
           0         63         - free -  (32K)
          63    1048576      1  freebsd-ufs  (512M)
     1048639    4194304      2  freebsd-swap  (2.0G)
     5242943     524288      4  freebsd-ufs  (256M)
     5767231     524288      5  freebsd-ufs  (256M)
     6291519   20971520      6  freebsd-ufs  (10G)
    27263039  597879346      7  freebsd-ufs  (285G)

To install the boot1, I tried this :

gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/boot1 ad2s1
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/boot1 ad2

But nothing happens, there is not the / spinning, just a blinking 
underscore. What did I wrong ?

Cheers,
