I can only imagine :that you want to add boot managers in UEFI style, which is something :that your old i386 system doesn't support.
I believe I have misrepresented GPT and DK stuff earlier. I've been fighting with them because of lack of space with GPT/old-MBR and other "in-use/busy" stuff. With a fresh 7.1 I have wd[0-9] (and /etc/fstab entries for them) (on i386). Plonk in a -current kernel without DKWEDGE_METHOD_* and it hangs because it cannot find anything (no /dev/dk* or /dev/wd*). I really would be unhappy if I was completely headless (and it is a pain for me to plug in a monitor there which I had with NPF woes (couldn't load large tables)) Maybe I've missed a step over the last couple of years so that it should automatically find old wd(*) BSD partitions with a -current kernel.
