Freenas8 on Soekris Net5501

[andrea.consadori]

Hi,
with old freenas 7.x i can load on net5501 changing default disk partition size.

now with this new release wizard it's all automatic and i cannot change disk partition size.

once installed freenas never show me the grub menu.

any idea on how to make it working?
