Hi,

I had a hard time booting FreeBSD 8.2 on an IBM X3550M3 which is also 
an UEFI maniac one. I could only boot FreeBSD from an USB DVD and 
install it from there. Maybe some legacy fallback boot options are 
availabe for this mobo. I think they have its user manual on their 
website.

Regards,
Andras
