Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD on a HP i2000 BigSur Machine, but this is not as easy as I thought. Can anybody tell me how to create a GPT partition layout and an efi partition using sysinstall ? Also unpacking the efipart.sys partition from CD did not seem to work. I installed FreeBSD-CURRENT (iso image created on a i386/5-RELEASE-p10 machine) yesterday by first installing Debian Linux. After installation I removed the linux partitions, kept the efi partition and the GPT layout and installed FreeBSD. Do you have to put a "bootable" flag on the efi- or the BSD-Partition ? OK, that way I could boot and use FreeBSD. Installing a new kernel (with SMP-support) also did not work, because the kernel in the efi-partition still was the old single-CPU-version. Can anybody help me ? Thanks, Oliver Fuckner Some useful information: HP i2000 Workstation 2* 800MHz CPUs (C-2 stepping) BIOS W460GXBS2.X86E.0130.P13.200210311550 SMBIOS 2.3.1 PAL A/B Version 6623/8830 SAL A/B Version 101/101 EFI Version 1.02[12.40] Qlogic ISP 12160 PCI SCSI Adapter
