--- Comment #3 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
Another workaround, good for most cases:=20

Use gdisk <http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/> to relocate backup data structu=
res
to the end of the disk. gdisk is included with GParted Live.=20

So far I have encountered four computers that will not boot a FreeBSD-based
operating system without post-installation attention to the GPT. Two HP, two
Apple.=20

----

The most recent case is the first for which gdisk relocation of backup data
structures was _not_ a workaround.=20

HP EliteBook 8540p with recently released GhostBSD 10.3
<http://www.ghostbsd.org/10.3_enoch>. In this case I took the same approach=
 as
in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211715#c2 above.=20

Specifically, I booted GParted Live from a USB flash drive then used GParted
to:=20

a) shrink the fat16 file system=20
   /dev/sda1
   by 1 MiB (from 100 to 99 MiB); and then=20

b) create a corresponding amount of free space before that partition.
