From 50d901977abb2faf5f929ef839c07891415bc56c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric van Gyzen Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 00:31:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bsdinstall: Suggest the GPT+Active workaround on Dell T5810 The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS mode without the Active flag in the Protective MBR. Suggest the workaround during installation. Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior, I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would like to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say, 2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before committing such a change.
