I can provide the gpart list from booted system, but how do I capture lsdev output without copying by pencil and paper?

I looked in "man loader" and "man loader.conf".

I subsequently added some partitions (6,7,12,13,14) for Linux purposes, but that should have no current effect on booting FreeBSD.
