Other Slow boot and GPT corrupt

Well yeah, we know it has to be your HW, FreeBSD is setting it properly. But it's still interesting to see what. Because BIOS should have no business touching disks. Maybe Dell did something "smart" but still..

Please let us know if you find something there.

It might be worth checking this out on Linux for example. Install it there on GPT partition (best to check how it sets that backup GPT header) and reboot to see if the issue occurs there too. If it's BIOS doing this funky business it should do it there too.
I got this
GPT backup hdr: part entries start @ 0x3a386008 ( 976773128 )

Well I would have to switch disks again it's already the second time I install FreeBSD and setup up all XFCE desktop.
Maybe someday I will just create a script to do all this automatically :)
Just let me enjoy a little longer before I mess all system again and at same time I still have to figure out what's wrong with the WIFI, I got a problem on this too.
But that's another story.

Thanks _martin
