I just received a new laptop, the first to only support UEFI. I have shrunk the Windows partition and used bsdinstall from the memstick to install FreeBSD 12.1. The partitioning went fine, except that there are now to efi partitions, the one previously on the drive for Windows 10 and the one the install created. I now need to learn the magic of configuring boot. I have looked at the wiki tutorial and the efibootmgr(8) man pae, but I am missing something basic. Should I have two efi partitions? If so, how does the system figure out which to use? Into which does the efi loader go? This is further complicated by not having been able to get the network up, so I can't upload my configuration. (This is an unrelated issue as I can't get W10 to connect to my network, either.) Anyway, pointers to useful documentation or a cluebat would be appreciated. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
