https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D215143 --- Comment #14 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> --- Followup: My iMac and MacBook are both running 11.2-RELEASE amd64 now. The iMac was a fresh install from an ISO with EFI disabled using holindho's patch. holindho's patch does not apply cleanly to the 11.2 src, but it's simple enough to just review visually and edit in by hand. On the MacBook, I upgraded from 11.1-RELEASE using freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.2-RELEASE This did not break the boot process, so it appears that installing from the EFI-disabled ISO is fairly safe through future updates. Both systems are dual-booted using rEFIt, BTW. I have not been able to boot FreeBSD using the whole disk on my old Macs. I'm not sure it's even possib= le.=20 ( I assume it is possible on a newer Mac with 64-bit EFI and a recent relea= se, but I have no such hardware to test it on. ) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
