booting off GPT partitions

Hey I was under the impression that everyone and their dog is using GPT partitioning in FreeBSD these days, including for boot drives and that I was just being unlucky with my current NAS motherboard (Intel D945GCLF2) having supposedly shaky support for GPT boot. But right now I am having an email

GPT booting is I believe only natively supported using an EFI BIOS. However if you wish to use GPT booting with FreeBSD its not too hard, you just cant install using sysinstall. The Examples section of the gpart manpage is what i used to configure the disk for my home server, a zotac ion atom based
