> What created a partition that small? Me. gpart up until last summer said that users should create 44kB freebsd-boot partitions -- des@ corrected that in r303289: -This example uses 88 blocks (44 kB) so the next partition will be -aligned on a 64 kB boundary without the need to specify an explicit -offset or alignment. -The boot partition itself is aligned on a 4 kB boundary. +We create a 472-block (236 kB) boot partition at offset 40, which is +the size of the partition table (34 blocks or 17 kB) rounded up to the +nearest 4 kB boundary. .Bd -literal -offset indent -/sbin/gpart add -b 40 -s 88 -t freebsd-boot ada0 +/sbin/gpart add -b 40 -s 472 -t freebsd-boot ada0 Thanks, -Ngie
