Boot loader too large with Aug-11 FreeBSD/i386 11-CURRENT snapshot
Hi, Today I installed 11-CURRENT from the 20140811 FreeBSD/i386 snapshot on my IBM T43 laptop but encountered some problems. The memstick installation went fine and I pretty much used default values everywhere, but upon reboot I got ”Boot loader too large”. Nothing more. Any ideas?

The freebsd-boot partition is bigger than five hundred twenty-mumble k. It'll be OK if you squeeze it down to 512. Somthing like 'gpart resize -i 1 -s 512k ada23' (untested, sub your disk). -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes, gpart fixed it. Thanks. But it’s annoying. Why is manual tinkering required here? Why isn’t it set to 512k by default? I checked the handbook (2.6.3), and it says ”the freebsd-boot partition should be no larger than 512K due to current boot code limitations” ...
