As bootloaders etc. go it seems to "just work". I think I did something like this - from memory: 1) Clean whole disk 2) Boot FreeBSD from USB, create EFI partition table. Create EFI protected partition and Windows C: partition of XX gigs. 3) Created a FreeBSD partition for the rest of the disk - mainly so that Windows definitely saw it as used! I removed it and then added extra partitions for the other OSes later. 4) Install Windows into partition created in (2) above. 5) Install reFind. Paul.
