I tried the following experiments: mkimg -v -f vmdk -s gpt -b test1/boot/pmbr -p freebsd-boot:=test1/boot/gptboot -p freebsd-ufs:=/tmp/file.img -o /tmp/foo1.vmdk When I tried to boot the image in QEMU, I had the same problem as before. It looks like it started writing the image on block 3, same as before. I also tried adding the -P flag, with different values like 2048 and 4096. I ran into the same problem.
