Welcome,
I'll try to install FreeBSD on new disk, after partitioning FreeBSD wont to starts...
I've to clear partition by Qparted, and install Slackware 13.0 (hugesmp).
When I swich on computer I see Boot error on blank screen.
Message after 'fdisk /dev/sda1' command:
Code:
bash-3.1# fdisk -l /dev/sda
This disk has both DOS and BSD magic.
Give the 'b' command to go to BSD mode.

When I give 'b' then fdisk 'says':
