Control: severity -1 important Hi,
I just realised that msdos logical partitions are not listed in the sysctl kern.geom.confxml on GNU/kFreeBSD. grub-probe uses kern.geom.confxml to get a list of all partitions, and this is why it is unable to detect and use a logical parition used as /boot But even if GRUB could detect and use it, the kernel is also probably unable to use such a partition as a root filesystem. ZFS might be an exception to this. GRUB can definitely use it as /boot, and I *think* the kernel can use it as root even if the physical volumes are logical partitions. The FreeBSD distro itself does not allow installation to msdos logical paritions at all. So I don't think this is something fixable in the short term. I'm downgrading the severity and I think this must be noted in the release notes or install guide as a limitation. Adding a detection/warning of this situation into the installer is now probably not possible, due to string freeze.
