Bug ID: 198380
Summary: Can't install using MBR
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RELEASE
Hardware: i386
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I am trying to install FreeBSD 10.1 Release on a 10 year old 32 bit machine
with 400GB disk and 3+ GB memory. It ran Linux for years without a problem.
I installed using the GUI install program. I accepted all of the defaults.
Everything installed fine but then the system wouldn't boot. I presume that is
because I should use MBR instead of GPT. Here is where all the problems start.
When you change to MBR you have to manually configure the partitions (slices).
Fine. I create the BSD MBR just fine. I created:
ada0 MBR
Then I created:
ada0s1 BSD
but when I go into ada0s1, it will only accept freebsd-ufs. I can't create
freebsd-boot or freebsd-swap. It keeps telling me "invalid argument".
I have spent hours trying to boot a basic machine with no luck. Sure
appreciate some help.
