Oh, I wasn't suggesting reverting bsdinstall before 9.0. That'll make
it a bit annoying to install on USB flash drives for some devices.
It may be worthwhile to do at a later date though. I do find myself
doing USB 9.0 installs just to test out the release without destroying
a physical disk.

One issue that has not come up on the emailing list is that dd, designed to
work with memsticks of various capacities, can not make the backup gpt at the
end of the memstick.
Partition is just big enough to hold the data, and I ran out of inodes at times
due to the installer writing to /tmp on

There is also the interesting question of actually installing to GPT on the
hard disk, which is the default in 9.0. Does this not work on some systems? If
so,

The new memstick image uses GPT instead of MBR partitioning.
GPT should have no impact on boot

Hello,
a while ago I downloaded a then current FreeBSD 9 current memstick image and
wrote it to an USB pen drive. It didn't boot, but also showed no error.
It just did not appear in the list of devices to boot from, after pressing
F12 after POST on this box.
I thought maybe the pen drive was bad
