Hi everyone!

For the first time, I am trying to get FreeBSD to run on a machine with 
UEFI. Thought I might go modern. :-)

This time I installed Windows 7 first. However, I did not find any step 
during installation where I could install a boot manager to choose if I 
wanted to run Windows or FreeBSD. Currently, the only way I can choose 
the OS now is to use the Mobos EFI boot manager, which of course is not 
the way I want to go.

It seems that I am walking on pretty much untouched soil here. There is 
no mention of a boot manager in the Handbook and even a searchengine 
doesn't find anything useful if UEFI is part of the search criteria.

Is what I am trying to do really that exotic? What do I have to look out 
for?

Best regards,
Chris
