I would like to know if anybody is / will be working on that in the near fu= ture or not, as unfortunately I have a Notebook that comes with with an Intel At= om Baytrail CPU and a 32-bit EFI without the possibility of setting legacy BIOS mode and I would really love to install FreeBSD on that machine. That kind of CPU was sold quite a lot and there are a lot of other Notebooks with a 32-bit EFI, so it could be interesting for more people to see this feature implemented in FreeBSD. I don't know if it could make things easier if looking at the solution from NetBSD, which actually works since 9.3. (There, the installation media is recognized by the 32-bit EFI and the system boots until it shuts down later= for some other reason, but this must be a another problem of NetBSD). Also, I would be happy to do testing if somebody started the work. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
