I am new to UEFI boot systems, but I can't find an answer to this question. We have always used BIOS boot up until the newest DELL 14G systems.
FreeBSD 10.3 on a DELL R740xd system - the boot drive was configured as UEFI boot and system changed from BIOS to UEFI boot. But when I install a preconfigured RAID0 (one drive - essentially a stand alone DATA drive) into the sytem, FreeBSD does not even see the drive with "ls /dev | more". I do NOT get the NORMAL CTRL-R OPTION during boot to configure RAID or import the data drive.
If I change boot back to BIOS, I get the CTRL-R option and can import or configure the RAID0 drive. Then on reboot, I change back to UEFI, and the system boots and the drive is mounted and available.
This is not a big deal for one system, but we have hundreds of systems installed in the field, and I cannot ship a replacement Data drive and have the customer go through this process.
