New Revision: 196333
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/196333

Log:
  The start of the EFI GPT partition in the PMBR can always be represented
  by CHS addressing. Don't define these fields as 0xff, but rather define
  them correctly. This prevents boot problems on PCs where GPT is being
  used.
