--- Comment #8 from [email protected] --- A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Thu Apr 12 19:00:22 UTC 2018 New revision: 332446 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/332446 Log: switch i386 memstick installer images to MBR Some BIOSes have trouble booting from GPT in non-UEFI mode. This is commonly reported with Lenovo laptops, including my x220. As we do not currently support booting FreeBSD/i386 via UEFI there's no reason to prefer GPT. The "vestigial swap partition" was added in r265017 to work around an issue with loader's GPT support, so we should not need it when using MBR. We may want to make the same change to amd64, although the issue there is mitigated by such systems booting via UEFI in the common case.
