Hi,

I had a hard time booting FreeBSD 8.2 on an IBM X3550M3 which is also an UEFI maniac one. I could only boot FreeBSD from an USB DVD and install it from there. Maybe some legacy fallback boot options are availabe for this mobo. I think they have its user manual on their website.

Regards,
Andras

It took me by surprise. The mobo I have on my mind for
new desktop has uefi instead of bios. It is asus m5a97,
with 970 chipset, well priced among users on the net.
How would it behave with 9.1? After all reading, I plan
to boot it as memory stick and go with simple "guided"
install. Someone could comment on the topic?
At the moment, I see I have to avoid manual partition
and mbr. Or not?
If it sounds bad, any other option for motherboard and
amd 8120 cpu?
Best regards
