Thanks for the suggestion. Incidentally, I did finally get the darn system
to boot, but I had to allow fdisk to determine the slices itself. I
checked my old 4.7 machine, and apparently I didn't pay much attention, but
it also made 2 unused slices at each ends of the disk with the FreeBSD
slice in the middle. I'd sure like to know why the blank slice is required
at the end of the disk...
Thanks,
-Clint
