Hello,

FreeBSD users who recently upgraded their system and those who frequently
circumvent bsdinstall to automate their FreeBSD installation may still use =
BIOS
boot. Besides, the EFI loader and the EFI boot manager are new enough to ne=
ed a
FreeBSD boot partition for an alternate boot method via BIOS.

In such cases and other situations, it is possible for a user to run efiboo=
tmgr
while their system has been booted via BIOS.
