Did you have a GPT partitioning on the disk already? If so, chances are it is ignored. The installer only knows how to create MBR partitions. Also, you have to create the EFI partition by hand in the installer. It's a bit of a mess, but that's the best we could do for now. If the naming is daXsYa, with X>=0 and Y>0, then you use the MBR partitioning. If the namein is daXpY, which X>=0 and Y>0, then you use the GPT partitioning. The first thing we need to know is what the partitions schemes are. Cen you send me (or the list if you want) the output of: # fdisk da0 # gpt -rvv show da0 Thanks, -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
