https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194359 --- Comment #4 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> --- I have only a very vague notion of how booting works these days, but my understanding is that we're already setting up things differently based on whether we expect to boot via BIOS or UEFI; and that (aside from when using a ZFS root, which is incompatible with UEFI) the installer detects how it was booted and sets up the system to boot the same way. If the above is correct, I think all we need is a "if we're setting up the disk to be booted via BIOS, gpart set -a active it". Allan, does this make sense? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
