We haven't "dropped" MBR support, and our amd64 memstick images are a combined hybrid format and do in general boot on legacy systems. That said, there are a number of firmware implementations that refuse to boot from the hybrid format - this has been a problem with Lenovo firmware in particular. Those of you with a system unable to boot from our MBR images, can you reply to the "Boot USB memstick with MBR" fork of this thread with details about the system and firmware version? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
