I can't reproduce it on my end, unfortunately. I downloaded the latest FreeBSD-11.2-PRERELEASE-i386-20180420-r332802 snapshot, installed it to a GPT partitioned disk, and it boots just fine. This snapshot corresponds to r332802, which has clang 6.0.0, with the EFLAGS change still reverted, so I assume its copy of gptboot is also compiled with that. Which exact revision of the base system were you using? -Dimitry --Apple-Mail=_6AEA95C7-1CE5-4615-9081-CB7C7C5FE091 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCWuGiBwAKCRCwXqMKLiCW oytNAJ9JUjejO5EFMja/42hOL4tLmopAQwCeM5sQ7yafqr3UwG30CyuqgESVoq8= =2bix -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_6AEA95C7-1CE5-4615-9081-CB7C7C5FE091--
