You need to install the bootcode:

This will install the interactive one:
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/boot0 ad4

this will install the non-interactive one:
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/mbr ad4

Thanks Warren, great article, and thanks all for the follow up posts as well.

Just one more question, the usual mbr and boot files will boot a gpt partition? I see there are some additional files gptboot and pmbr?

Thanks, Erik
