Hi,
I try to install FreeBSD on an external drive but when I create a partition, it says me "Invalid argument" when I try :
- a: as partition type ;
- a: as partition type + 512KB of size ;
- a: as partition type + 1GB of size ;
- a: as partition type + 1GB of size + / as mount point ;
- a as partition type ;
- a as partition type + 512KB of size ;
- a as partition type + 1GB of size ;
- a as partition type + 1GB of size + / as mount point ;
- freebsd-boot as partition type ;
- freebsd-boot as partition type + 512KB of size ;
- freebsd-boot as partition type + 1GB of size ;
- freebsd-boot as partition type + 1GB of size + / as mount point ;
The ONLY THING, I mean, which I can do is make : freebsd-ufs + size is entire disk + / as mount point.
I use the GUI installer and the BSD file system.
I think that I don't understand many things about this file system, and that's why I can't go further.
I searched on Internet "file system hierarchy BSD" or "partition system BSD" but I found often threads / answers on the GPT file system...
Thanks a lot of for any help.
