Dear All,

I'd like to install FreeBSD onto az IBM X3550 M3 which looks like UEFI only. Is it possible to have FreeBSD amd64 get working on it or should I forget
it? :(

Will it do traditional MBR boot by any chance?  As a last resort
workaround, it might be possible to take its hard drive to another
system and install grub which will boot FreeBSD but supports EFI.

(We should implement EFI on amd64 by the way).

Cheers,

Take the hard drive out is not really an option because of the M5014 HW RAID and the SAS backplane. :)

Anyway I found a "Rehook INT 19: disabled" setup option which, I think, simply disables legacy BIOS booting. I'll give it a try in the evening.

Best,
Andras
