https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194359 --- Comment #9 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- > If the installer knows what the firmware is ((I don't know if we pass anything from the loader to the kernel)) We report if the system was booted by BIOS or UEFI via the machdep.bootmethod sysctl (returns BIOS or UEFI). I think this won't help though, because it returns BIOS for both the legacy BIOS case and the UEFI CSM (i.e. simulated BIOS) case, and based on the discussion here it seems (some) real BIOS needs the PMBR active flag set while CSM needs it unset. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
