I'm attempting to boot multiple versions of FreeBSD=2E I started with an install of older 11 with a (u)efi boot partition installed=2E I then grabbed an current 11 usbstick, and installed that=2E Which stated it needed to install a (u)efi boot partition=2E I let it do it=2E But the new (additional) install doesn't show up at boot=2E Altho my UEFI BIOS sees it=2E I guess there are just too many uefi bios versions, and too many changes in the FreeBSD uefi boot code to expect consistent results over the long haul=2E Should I just convert the 1st efi (GPT) boot partition to a PMBR, and delete the second efi partition=2E Or is there a recommended bootmanager I can use to boot multiple versions of FreeBSD? Windows? Thank you! --Chris
