Hey
I recently got a new computer and I found that I couldn't go to legacy (BIOS) boot and had to stick to UEFI.
Long story short: I had to format my old hard drive, installed Linux and after a month I resized it to make room for FreeBSD. However, I am having trouble installing:
When I go to the partition bit it detects the hard drive, the free space, but it prompts me a warning about not being able to install on a DOS partition table and having to reformat to GPT, which will wipe out my Linux partition. I also noticed that automatically using the space wouldn't work (it tries to use all my HD, instead the free space, both marked as unused or even freeBSD). I am trying to use UFS.
Is it possible to go around this without formatting? I have vague memories now that I should have installed BSD first, Linux second, but now is too late.
Thank you
