I've read somwhere in the doc's, that freebsd-alpha does*nt support partitioning of the drives, since srm does'nt support it or can't boot from partitions. My experience with an USB Memory stick is, that the stick gets detected an an /dev/da[something] is created in /dev, but the /dev/da[something]s1 for the fat filesystem on this stick is'nt created, so I can't mount the fs. fdisk does'nt exist on this platform. It seems to me, that dropping support for PC partition tables is the wrong way .... Suggestions?
