Or does FreeBSD enforce UEFI nowadays? Full address access of a 1 (and even a 2) TiB drive works with MBR. If the computer gets borked and you urgently need access to data on a weekend, when all stores are closed, let alone Corona lockdowns, it's possible to use the drive with any old hardware providing the right bus interface lying around. AFAIK this is something you can't do when using GPT, since not all BIOS' support GPT. Regards, Ralf
