Does anyone else have a machine that won't boot from GPT without the 
active flag set?

bsdinstall now has a blacklist for these models, and can apply the fix 
as part of the installation (ufs or zfs).

If you are also suffering from this, please post your machine's details 
to get it added to the blacklist:
