Author: nwhitehorn Date: Fri Jan 30 21:22:18 2015 New Revision: 277950 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/277950 Log: Use MBR by default on BIOS systems. An increasing number of motherboards assume that GPT means UEFI boot, resulting in the installation of uninstallable systems. This needs a little more work before MFC, in particular based on disk size (> 2 TB + BIOS + MBR is not workable). That will come soon.
