Hey
A 64kb freebsd-boot partition should be more than plenty for what you
want to do, see my setup at: http://freebsd.pastebin.com/QS6MnNKc
Interesting. I read somewhere that the boot partition should not be too
large as the entire partition is loaded into memory. I re-partitioned
my drive to create a 64KiB freebsd-boot partition and I no longer get
the error. It would appear that there is an undocumented maximum size
to the freebsd-boot partition. In my case, a 1MiB boot partition was
too large.
Now I need to teach gptboot in ad4p1 how to find my root partition in
ad4p4 without manual intervention. Is there a GPT equivalent to boot0cfg?
gptboot currently attempts to boot:
0:ad(0p2)/boot/kernel/kernel
I'd like it to boot:
0:ad(4p4)/boot/loader
How does the boot process discover the partition in which the gptboot
loader resides?
And GPT is pretty damn slick. Nice work FreeBSD hackers.
Thanks,
Jason C. Wells
