The partition editor, apparently, didn't see the 260MB EFI partition and wanted to create a _second_ EFI partition, in the middle of the disk, right before the rootfs (monted on /), what made little sense to me. I said "no", making the system, for the time being, unbootable. The installation completed except for that step. nvd0 GPT layout: nvd0p1 260 MB EFI partition nvd0p2 16MB M$ reserved partition nvd0p3 256GB M$ system and data partition nvd0p4 512KB freebsd-boot nvd0p5 2GB rootfs, mounted on /) nvd0p6 80 GB swap (on a 32GB RAM system, maybe overkill) nvd0p7 26GB varfs, mounted on /var nvd0p8 14GB tmpfs, mounted on /tmp, may be ovewrkill as well nvd0p9 134GB usrfs, mounted on /usr .... nvd0lastpartition 650MB M$ Recovery partition I hope there is some simple way to complete this FreeBSD installation, by adding the appropriate booting code to the _existing_ EFI partition. Thanks for your help and advice.
