Fresh-install from -current snapshot: Boot loader too large

2014-05-08 Thread Jeremie Le Hen
Hi,

I installed FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-i386-20140428-r265054-disc1.iso to a
VirtualBox i386 VM.  I did the most straightforward install you can
possibly do (hit enter repeatedly, except for hostname and password).

On the first boot I get the following error message:
Boot loader too large


Note that FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-i386-20140423-r264794-disc1.iso does not
has the problem.

As I recall, this comes from the freebsd-boot partition being too big,
where too big is some unround number like 540k or something odd like
that.  Make sure that partition is 512k or something smaller.
