If you mean: no UEFI boot ? Yes, it boots via BIOS, not UEFI.

FreeBSD 12.0p10, amd64.

The board is an X10SRi-F. dmidecode reports BIOS 3.1, supermicro
has 3.1c, but the release notes do not mention things like that
(or at least I don't understand them that way).

I will test this when I'm at the facility. Will take some time.

Thanks for the pointers!
