(This stuff would probably be a lot less confiusing if I actually knew
what I was doing, but...)
OK, Warren, I've just done the following steps. The first two I drew
from the manpage examples, and then followed those up with two commands
from your tutorial.
/sbin/gpart create -s GPT ada0 # manpage example is wrong, ad0 -> ada0
/sbin/gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ad0 # manpage wrong again, pmbr -> mbr
gpart add -t freebsd-boot -l gpboot -b 40 -s 512K ada0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0
That last one, done at the suggestion of your tutorial page, has me
completely perplexed, because of what is said, very explicitly, in the
gpart(8) manpage:
bootcode Embed bootstrap code into the partitioning scheme's metadata on
the geom (using -b bootcode) or write bootstrap code into a
partition (using -p partcode and -i index).
Please note the use of the word "or".
The man page is telling me to _either_ use the -p option _or else_ use
the -p and -i options together. But you are telling me to use all three
in one go!
Forgive me, but I'm confused. (As you can tell by now, I am often easily
confused. Sorry.)
