Can anybody tell me how to create a GPT partition layout and an efi partition using sysinstall ? Also unpacking the efipart.sys partition from CD did not seem to work. I installed FreeBSD-CURRENT (iso image created on a i386/5-RELEASE-p10 machine) yesterday by first installing Debian Linux. After installation I removed the linux partitions, kept the efi partition and the GPT layout and installed FreeBSD. Do you have to put a "bootable" flag on the efi- or the BSD-Partition ? OK, that way I could boot and use FreeBSD. Installing a new kernel (with SMP-support) also did not work, because the kernel in the efi-partition still was the old single-CPU-version. Can anybody help me ?
