Hi,
The current linux-f10-flashplugin-11.2r202.310 version has some troubles
on my machine (with Firefox).
Sometimes, when a flash component is displayed and you scroll a bit the
window the flash break and goes grey, you're forced to reload the page.
I'm using the Intel new KMS driver
If you really need to visit sites that need Adobe Flash, you perhaps
should use the google-chrome browser. For some websites with flash
content, we don't need flash anymore, just modern HTML5 capable web
browsers. For *nix there never will be a current version for flashplayer
again

Let's try to use the correct terminology.

Floppy disks aren't partitioned/sliced - they use 'dangerously dedicated'
they use dangerously obsolete mode. nobody use them at all.

see a partition table it's quite easy to forget to check if da0 itself

A company I worked with were still distributing files on floppy disks as
recently as 2009. They _are_ obsolete, but I suspect plenty of people
still use them.

I didn't say it was FreeBSD's fault. If I thought it was, I would have

The more expensive disks of course support TRIM so you'd want to pass -t to
newfs to enable it.
Thanks. Next time I blow

I have used gpart to partition a USB flash drive into FreeBSD boot partition,
root partition and swap partition.
making swap partition on USB pendrive is at least stupid. if you won't
swap at all - wasted space.
If you will it would be so slow and wear USB pendrive so

Does a USB flash drive also work as a giant floppy, no partitions?
Can you make a flash drive bootable when nonpartitioned and
formatted that way?
Yes, that's exactly what my advice was aiming to, but let's
