I did not realize there was a license issue. FreeBSD's default config cannot create EBR partitions. I raised a PR for th= is : https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232463 After much heckling, the PR was assigned to geom for action, but none was taken. Can you at least have the EBR problem fixed ? I have tried multi-booting FreeBSD+Linux with GPT but failed, possibly beca= use of insufficient knowledge. Can you be kind enough to send me some documenta= tion on how to multi-boot FreeBSD+Linux GPT ? Which boot loader works for that s= etup ? Grub is able to boot Linux GPT, but fails to boot FreeBSD GPT on my system for unknown reasons despite a seemingly correct menu entry in grub.cfg. Further, is usage of UEFI mandatory with GPT ? When I try to install Linux = with GPT without UEFI, boot-loader installation fails. Thanks for any possible documentation to increase to awareness level. And please try to get the EBR issue sorted out. Look forward to hearing from you, Manish Jain --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
