Hi FreeBSD users.
I'm considering installing FreeBSD 9.2 or 10.x on an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard which has UEFI. Currently there is an IMSM (Intel fake RAID) RAID 1 array with GUID Partition Table (GPT). The first partition is FAT for UEFI, which contains GRUB. The second partition contains Fedora 19. I'm able to launch the UEFI shell, then grubx64.efi, then the entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
should allow me to boot?
If so, will the normal installation procedure copy the needed files to my existing boot partition (if I specify) without overwriting? Perhaps I can skip the dedicated boot partition step of the installation and copy only the necessary files to the boot partition?
Thank you,
Sven
