I suspect it is your BIOS, as I don't get that choice and AFAIK I also have a standard GPT installation - I literally followed the examples in man gpart up to the point where freebsd-ufs partitions are added. This is my partition layout: dalroi:bommel > gpart show ada0 => 34 625142381 ada0 GPT (298G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K) 162 2097152 2 freebsd-ufs (1.0G) 2097314 16777216 3 freebsd-swap (8.0G) 18874530 1024000 4 freebsd-ufs (500M) 19898530 2097152 5 freebsd-ufs (1.0G) 21995682 41943040 6 freebsd-ufs (20G) 63938722 561203693 7 freebsd-ufs (268G) !DSPAM:930,4bffa1c910415538290380!Received on Fri May 28 2010 - 08:58:19 UTC
