Err, you souldn't have a ad4p2a if you are using gptboot. gptboot expects you to create separate GPT partitions for each UFS filesystem and swap rather than putting a BSD label inside of a GPT partition. EFI for amd64/i386 is not yet supported. There is some work in a p4 branch to build a 32-bit EFI loader. -- John Baldwin
