Hi, why? There's no reason to use UEFI for a Linux and FreeBSD dual-boot. Or doe= s FreeBSD enforce UEFI nowadays? Full address access of a 1 (and even a 2) T= iB drive works with MBR. If the computer gets borked and you urgently need a= ccess to data on a weekend, when all stores are closed, let alone Corona loc= kdowns, it's possible to use the drive with any old hardware providing the r= ight bus interface lying around. AFAIK this is something you can't do when u= sing GPT, since not all BIOS' support GPT. Regards, Ralf=
