I guess that means we need to be able to distinguish between true BIOS and UEFI CSM. There seems to be some code for that: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cking/debug-code/.git;a=commit;h=2e654e01bf4014b27387cf64bb03316064478eea I have no idea how well this works or if this is at all a legit way to do that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
