Even though you don't modify the EFI partition (if already existing) FreeBSD will format it and therefore losing all your previous systems EFI loaders. The script should not format the EFI partition and use it if already existi= ng or propose the user to create one if not found. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install any operating system that is not FreeBSD with a EFI partition 2. Boot FreeBSD installer 3. Create a freebsd-ufs partition (do not use auto partitioning!) 4. Install will format the EFI partition and you lose all your data on it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
