Hi
I'm trying to upgrade 7.4 to 8.3, but I fail.
On a third slice I have nine gpt partitions. Originally they were created under 6.2 with "gpt". The upgrade from 6.4 to 7.4 runs without problems, but now from 7.4 to 8.3 the partitions are not found. I can't see them under /dev and gpart list shows curious things, a fifth slice in the third and a EBR scheme instead of GPT.
I have load the kernel modules geom_part_gtp, geom_part_mbr, geom_part_bsd. Is there a save way to install 8.3 or is it dead-end?
