I noticed that PC-BSD 10 preview comes in a new hybrid image format which can be written both to DVD and USB stick. Could someone enlighten me how to create such hybrid images myself under FreeBSD? After dd-ing the image to a USB stick, gpart reveals a GPT partitioning scheme with just one freebsd-boot partition and unallocated space:
But which boot code is used to boot off the raw space and how does the whole work?
PC-BSD automatically detects and mounts the volume. What is the logic behind this and how could I mount it manually under FreeBSD if no partition exists?
Code:
# gpart show da0
=> 34 31268797 da0 GPT (15G) [CORRUPT]
34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K)
