Hello list! I have tried to install a system with pure gpt partitioning, but haven't managed to boot from it. Partition table: => 34 976773101 ad6 GPT (500.1GB) 34 1571840 1 freebsd-ufs (804.8MB) 1571874 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.3GB) 9960482 1024 3 freebsd-boot (524.3KB) 9961506 8388608 4 freebsd-ufs (4.3GB) 18350114 524288 5 freebsd-ufs (268.4MB) 18874402 134217728 6 freebsd-ufs (68.7GB) 153092130 823681005 - free - (421.7GB) All necessary files are already installed (ad6p1 = /, ad6p4 = /var, and so on). The system is 8.0-CURRENT from 8 August (bootable usb flash). Computer is Core2Duo E8400 3.0 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, ICH9, 500 GB SATA. What have been done: gpart bootcode -b /path/to/pmbr ad6 [Successful] gpart bootcode -p /path/to/gptboot -i 3 ad6 gpart: /dev/ad6p3: Invalid argument I have tried to 'newfs /dev/ad6p3' and then mounting it and copying gptboot into 'boot' directory on ad6p3, but looking at the sources it seems to be wrong. Then I tried to 'dd if=gptboot of=/dev/ad6p3 bs=512', but in all cases during the boot the blinking cursor moves 1 line down and computer freezes here. Is it my local problem? What is the correct procedure of preparing gpt-only BIOS-bootable system? Thanks, Alexey.Received on Fri Aug 29 2008 - 18:53:16 UTC
