This is the start of the partition table of the /dev/nda0 device (still with Windows and looked at from the working USB-key): # gpart list nda0 Geom name: nda0 modified: false state: OK fwheads: 255 fwsectors: 63 last: 1000215182 first: 34 entries: 128 scheme: GPT Providers: 1. Name: nda0p1 Mediasize: 272629760 (260M) Sectorsize: 512 Stripesize: 0 Stripeoffset: 1048576 Mode: r0w0e0 efimedia: HD(1,GPT,be8d2f98-9d0b-4887-b93d-5f8fa172a50f,0x800,0x82000) rawuuid: be8d2f98-9d0b-4887-b93d-5f8fa172a50f rawtype: c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b label: EFI system partition length: 272629760 offset: 1048576 type: efi index: 1 end: 534527 start: 2048 ... Three things which are calling my attention: - the size is 260M (and not 40M as in our Wiki explained) - the label is 'EFI system partition' - it is the first partition starting a 2048 and its 'index' is 1 I will by a new USB disk and start vom scratch and also with the above values. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
