I looked over the GPT sample and have a question.
In the fstab entries, something that uses msdosfs, (thumb drive maybe).
Can you enter it directly in the fstab after the basic partitions and other
/dev have been entered in the initial setup?
Short answer: yes, but...
Longer answer: most flash drives have an MBR partition setup with one
partition filling the whole device. Since it's not GPT, it won't/can't
have GPT labels on the partitions. But the GEOM system will create a
label for the MSDOS filesystem if it has been given a volume name. That
label will appear in /dev/msdosfs/ and can be used in an /etc/fstab
entry.
