Re: cannot create partition entries for /dev/ad3

Given that FreeBSD 5.1 is on the shelf in a box at CompUSA for sale to the
general public, I think the proper thing to do is address the matter of
documenting the revised operation of the devices in 5.X, rather than tell
people to downgrade if they don't understand the behavior of their system,
besides which FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 are not for sale at CompUSA as a consolation.
I did ask to know what documentation there is for the new behavior, but I have
not heard any replies. If there isn't any documentation, that's an answer too.
