Now we’re ready to install FreeBSD onto the new UFS partition. Ok, now we’ve made our UFS partitions, we need to format and mount them: Gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptboot -i 1 aacd0 Gpart add -s 100G -t freebsd-ufs -l boot aacd0Īnd now we have to install the protected MBR boot code into the drive: Gpart add -s 4G -t freebsd-swap -l swap aacd0 We will now make a boot (64KB), swap (4GB) and two UFS (100GB + remaining space) partition on the disk: Now we need to initialise the GPT partitions on the disk: I will create a 100GB boot drive, and mount the remaining disk into /data using GPT all the way.įirst, we need to remove any existing GPT partition info from the disk – ignore the ‘invalid argument’ message if you get it at this stage: Here, I’m going to use an Adaptec RAID disk ( /dev/aacd0) which is multi-TB.

This will open up a terminal window into a live filesystem booted from the DVD/USB. Once you’ve booted into the installer and chosen your country and keyboard layouts, go to the Fixit menu and choose either CDROM/DVD or USB depending on the installation media you used. No other boot image will work – it MUST be the DVD or memory stick image! NOTE: FreeBSD 9.0 installer supports GPT by default now, so these instructions are for 8.x onlyįirst, grab yourself a copy of DVD1 iso or the memory stick image and boot from it. The freebsd installer doesn’t support anything exotic so we have to do this manually. This is how to make freebsd boot from a GPT volume (needed for large RAID arrays etc).
