So, currently running FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE on an HP z800 workstation with a BIOS motherboard. It is kind of a hybrid, in that it supports GPT partitions. I have 2 SSDs in this box, one for the file system on "/" and one for "/home". Both SSDs have GPT partition tables. Considering building a more modern machine which has a UEFI motherboard. I do not dual-boot or anything: FreeBSD is my sole OS. Can I simply take the drives and use them in the new system or is there some partitioning magic I have to do to get it to boot? I am thinking of the "EFI" partition I always read about but not sure if that is only necessary for folks who dual boot with another OS.
If I need to do a reinstall, I can, I'll just save off the relevant customized configs I have. Thanks in advance!
