Interesting. Not sure Clover would help there though, secure boot is a
different issue:

Hi;
FWIW, I use a very old PC of the type where the processor will not be fixed
by Intel and that still needs support for the traditional BIOS. I also
bought a 3TB HD (they were easier to find that 2T).
If I leave the disk dedicated to FreeBSD it recognizes the complete 3TB and
will happily use ZFS for everything, however I want to dual boot so after
lots of testing I ended up ignoring 1 TB of HD :(.
It does happen that there is a really nice boot loader that could have saved
the day but it is very difficult to install standalone:

Just in case someone has the time and inclination to play with it :)
Pedro.
Is the issue due to using MBR partitioning? FreeBSD supports booting
from a GPT partition from a traditional BIOS; you don't need EFI. Is
this machine so old that its BIOS doesn't support booting from GPT?
