Looking at the release notes it seems FreeBSD 8 now supports booting from
a GPT formatted partition but going through the installer it seems, please
correct me if I'm wrong, that its still no possible to actually install
using a standard disk1 to a clean machine with a large disk?

I've found a number things articles on how to achieve this on previous
versions, but they are all quite complex and was hoping there was a nice
easy way on 8.0 given the improvements listed in the release notes.

Any pointers?
