Thanks for the fast reply :-) Just to get it unambiguous: Is the "FreeBSD pre-partition" an unallocated space or an empty partition, which is unmounted or ... ? Btw, does the unallocated space physically need to be at a stretch? (How) Does the partition manager arrange the physical position of partitions? As (nearly) always in the world of Free Software, I can (successfully) use whichever partition manager I want for this, can't I? Or is efibootmgr more suitable for this task? -- > Hi, > > If you use UEFI, you can do it automatically and almost without > touching your current partitions.
