New Revision: 277950
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/277950
Log:
Use MBR by default on BIOS systems. An increasing number of motherboards
assume that GPT means UEFI boot, resulting in the installation of
uninstallable systems. This needs a little more work before MFC, in
particular based on disk size (> 2 TB + BIOS + MBR is not workable). That
will come soon.
