            Bug ID: 247728
           Summary: If a user's install disk exceeds 2tb in size, have the
                    installer select gpt not dos
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: brian at brianwhalen.net

If a user has a disk over 2 TB in size and tries to install to it, with an
amd64 version of a 12.1 release at least, when it comes time to partition the
disk, the installer selects dos. If a user proceeds with this, then the system
will only use 2TB of the disk, whereas if the installer detected this and
selected gpt, then if that is used, the entire disk will be seen.
