https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193658 --- Comment #1 from commit-hook@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Mon Sep 15 17:49:49 UTC 2014 New revision: 271636 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/271636 Log: MFC EFI support for the installer r264978 (nwhitehorn): Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel provide a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl does not exist yet, so the following blocks are in front of the wheels: - I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent thing on PPC - The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose BIOS. There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn this off. If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few modifications), the same code could be adapted there. r265016 (nwhitehorn): Finish connecting up installer UEFI support. If the kernel was booted using EFI, set up the disks for an EFI system. If booted from BIOS/CSM, set up for BIOS. r268256 (nwhitehorn): After EFI support was added to the installer, it needed to allow boot partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi"). This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems, in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific code on MBR. This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
