            Bug ID: 227049
           Summary: Only GPT USB Installation Image Available
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd.org@alexandrews.me.uk

I recently downloaded the latest (v11.1) FreeBSD USB release installation i=
mage
and burnt it to a USB stick.  However, my Intel D945-GCLF2 based PC complet=
ely
ignores booting from the USB stick when attached (but happily boots other U=
SB
sticks), and I suspect that it is because the USB image uses the GPT schema=
.  I
believe previous versions of FreeBSD (eg. 10.4) used to provide both MBR and
GPT USB installation images so an MBR version is needed for v11.1 (and futu=
re
versions) of FreeBSD.
