Subject: GPT on amd64 and boot managers
Good day,
Yesterday I finally changed my FreeBSD disk to use GPT instead of a traditional
MBR, but I hadn't realised that the FreeBSD boot manager doesn't understand GPT
partitions (my CURRENT is from early January, if that matters).
I used to have that disk set up in the BIOS as the preferred boot disk and the
boot manager on it allowed me to boot one of the other disks containing Windows
7 [1].
FreeBSD boots just fine from GPT.
See the examples section of gpart(8).
Bye/2
