I am trying to install FreeBSD 9 on an HP t5730 thin client. If I use the installer to manually partition the internal flash hard drive (1 GB, /) and a USB thumb drive (32 GB, /usr) using MBR, it boots correctly. It will also boot correctly if I use fdisk.
The computer will NOT boot if I partition using any of these methods:
I really want to use GPT because of the filesystem labels. Any ideas on how to diagnose the cause of this problem?
PS: Am I missing something that I can't label a USF filesystem (newfs -L mylabel da0) when it's an MBR disk? Because that doesn't work for me.
