Hi,
I'm going to install the FreeBSD 8.1-Release on my GPT hard disk.
I will use FreeBSD-From-Scratch anyway, but I think I'll have to follow this guide first to get a bootable system, right?
But before I do that, I would be interested in whether there are other ways, too. My first idea was using the PC-BSD installer for FreeBSD, but it seems the USB-Image from PC-BSD doesn't really want to boot on my system... :\ I always get another error while booting up.
Second, it is possible to use the new 9-Current installer for GPT installs?
And, why does it seem to be so hard to make an update for sysinstall to be able to install on GPT or, e.g. ZFS?
GPT isn't such a new thing is it? I really don't understand that.
Blackbird
Edit: The FIXIT mode from my USB doesn't work either. Seems to be a problem with my keyboards...
So here we are, another solution?
