[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installation on a partition (UEFI System)

[Atiq Rahman]

Hi John,
That's very helpful..

So, even though I choose "Partition the disk (MBR)" on the text installer,
it should work fine on my UEFI System after I set up the pool using FreeBSD
live image.
Right? I get confused since it mentions "MBR" next to it and my System is
entirely GPT, no support for legacy / MBR booting at all (no CSM).

Have a smooth Monday,

Atiq
