I'll wait until I get the CSM working with the latest version of the EDK2 before updating the main port again. I don't know if Bhyve supports it, but perhaps the best solution for people wanting to run OSes which aren't UEFI-aware is to use misc/seabios . Also, given how people always want to play with older OSes like Windows 98/2000, I'm not sure we'll ever want to do away with legacy/CSM/etc. support! -- Rebecca Cran
