thanks Carl,
i tried your your manual step by steps on FreeBSD8.2 but error happened.
this is what i've done:
gpart create -s MBR ad3
ad3 created
gpart add -t freebsd ad3
ad3s1 added
gpart create -s BSD -n 20 ad3s1
gpart: geom 'ad3s1': File Exists
if i do not run the second command and run the

my question is: how can i define more partitions on my freebsd? (for
example, ad3s1a, ..., ad3s1h, ad3s1i, ad3s1j, ...).
any comments or hints are appreciated.

to install freebsd8.2 on my system. for some reasons, i need
partitions more than 6. my freebsd just allow me to define partitions
from a to h, not any more.
i checked FreeBSD handbook, but it doesn't say anything about defining
more partitions.
my question is: how can i define more partitions

thanks guys,
i understand another solution is GPT partitioning. but i prefer to
have more partitions in traditional freebsd (with MBR table i think).
using GPT is the last solution for me.
i should create more than 8 partitions with gpart
thanks RW,
do you have any suggestions how i can do that? with gpart command?

You cannot. You need to use the GPT partitioning approach
and repartition your disk. With gpart, you can create more
than 'h' partitions, but the partitions will have different
names
partitions.
Because you _cannot_ define more partitions than up to 'h'.
This is a hard-defined limit of MBR-style partitions (as
they are initialized with bsdlabel).

and my last question, some people say to change byte 0x28a of the

you think it's a good idea and applicable solution?
Short answer: if you have to ask - no, it isn't.

Respectfully,
thanks Robert,
so i just have one choice: gpart. do you know how to use it? i define
ad3 and ad3s1; after that i run this command: gpart create -s mbr -n
20 ad3s1. but this error happens: GEOM: file exists.
after that i do it again in different way: i create ad3 and after that
run the above
).

Others have already commented that GPT labels are better, but I think
that you can have more than 8 partitions. I
