While it's far simpler. Anyway i wasn't aware it's called that way as i don't use installer As far as I know, the installer dropped dedicated mode some time ago. So if you intendedly want to use it, you need to bypass the installer and do the few simple steps using the CLI. i already do this,

http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/09.03.shtml That is EXTREMELY old advice. completely irrevelant now. Why so many people blindly repeat some rules without understanding it. Even years after that rule no longer matters. The other example is creating lots of partitions. _

environment. gpart(8) can create MBR slice/partition layouts (and GPT and other partition schemes). See the man page. There is little reason to use fdisk and bsdlabel any more. i use only disklabel, no fdisk at all. i put partition start sector where i want - no align problems. I did no

Magdeburg, Germany 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 quic

Interestingly enough, I searched through the man pages and FreeBSD help but never came across anything that specifically addressed flash drive. because there is no need to. For freebsd it is just a storage device. for FreeBSD only i recommend using bsdlabel, not gpart, for multiOS using fdisk

with using the commands provided by Warren, you will be fine every time. If you practice them regularly, you will remember them, and if you do so, you'll surely write a script that after doing man gpart he will understand it, so remembering is easy.

I know your question specified gpart, but the easiest way I know of to put UFS filesystems on flash drives is to use sade(8), incorporating the the easiest way to put UFS filesystem on flash drives is to ... put UFS filesystem using newfs command. You DO NOT NEED any partitioning. _

You don't. You wipe the FAT32 with fdisk and make a FreeBSD slice on it. Then you can bsdlabel it with one partition and newfs it. Or you can repeat 100 times more that you "have to" make fdisk and bsdlabel. you don't, and it doesn't make sense ___
