Description
DragonFly currently doesn't have any GPT support in its installer, which makes it hard to install on > 2TB storage volumes.
Proposed roadmap:
1. Register some GUID partition types
UFS and swap partitions could reuse the FreeBSD UFS and partition types
New types are needed for HAMMER and HAMMER2 file systems2. Add full-volume support to the installer
The installer should be able to install DragonFly on a dedicated volume3. Add partial volume support to the installer
For people wanting to keep non-DragonFly managed data on part of a volumeFiles

Here's a patch for installing to a GPT slice. You must manually setup the slice beforehand.
