For what it's worth, this is an Asus X202e notebook. What I'm doing now is using a Debian kFreeBSD disk to get to grub. It has an option to boot from the first hard disk. That's literally all I need to boot FreeBSD. I'm presently using legacy BIOS emulation to boot the kFreeBSD disk but its a GPT disk. I also needed legacy mode to boot the FreeBSD installation disk so I could even install FreeBSD. I did create an additional EFI partition at the beginning of the disk, modifying the default install. What I'm seeing now looks kind of like a chicken-and-egg problem. I tried installing grub-efi-amd64 but it fails to work the appropriate magic and cast the appropriate spell. I suspect because the disk is GPT running under legacy mode. I also tried rEFInd which has helped enormously with previous linux installations. No joy this time. I've now blown both grub-efi and rEFInd away on the theory that I need to start fresh. It looks like code to deal with UEFI has been merged in to HEAD (a statement that doesn't actually mean all that much to me) and I *am* at this moment trying to upgrade from 10.0 RELEASE to STABLE. Is needed code in STABLE (and not in RELEASE)? Has anyone found a path through this? Where/what is it? Should I just wait for 10.1? Thanks! -- David Benfell See https://parts-unknown.org/node/2 if you do not understand the attachment. --=_munich.parts-unknown.org-28809-1406054939-0001 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIVAwUAU86yHBV64x4SNmArAQr46xAAkEhjWUoA/4T8mJJVREdx1Xs1sEyZHNhV dzUCc+P5bbjluh1cXVepW7/MQK4R3z4zctsUCx7tLJyDB7dCPBxm06EREZRH7set 2m05+WuyKmyYXR48RrXaceCtFfaIkqployzynWN6ItcOvl4jkOZI+Hngwyh7oXZU NfVT31KLGEn4wJkGj5y4YIVlesM5UTPB4Zq6wQHze9CuK8cvFFCZyzvk13Gv9RX1 BEqges8fHHGw3MDR6T/rrG3PfGqdaZyn8IuLG/JkgABescSMUw0lgLqI9ShoXi9Y k98yoJs3VdRPdC6oSwDIGzCsjAhbnzehGISUKXPVhxEpqqIFrPCZiG78dsy4PfXM ogulP1c/EzshNu1t7e9qMtowSNXn2hVKDo0144EAod6pbEEs+KF1Fq1LkPNoJv1/ 2FUIlM1S8BYRf/xKbLxfUq34e13O2mb95KTm4yFhtAwxol0HaZC8wt1MpgzgMsmP lKGHGOM5eIgTK2/PM+Y7/viepKUchzBxYTEDS4MnmWEViDJXg72ytfAQRNmbaUIE c+iY6qsEuoLQNRvfmzD2nEHaySXgej8rjQrUBcJ/C+JDM7ddxmmj8GwDAFABhTBh QXKV6lnDuxBxbM8gbVPqP/YuqpM4PQmCYlGvzyn3De1ak5YDpdcjK0JUSaBYbuhB JFwDdR3dZH0= =Ri65 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_munich.parts-unknown.org-28809-1406054939-0001--
