what 3rd party boot mgr is required to boot multiple freebsd versions?
I'm attempting to boot multiple versions of FreeBSD. I started with an install of older 11 with a (u)efi boot partition installed. I then grabbed an current 11 usbstick, and installed that. Which stated it needed to install a (u)efi boot partition. I let it do it. But the new (additional) install doesn't show up at boot. Altho my UEFI BIOS sees it. I guess there are just too many uefi bios versions, and too many changes in the FreeBSD uefi boot code to expect consistent results over the long haul. Should I just convert the 1st efi (GPT) boot partition to a PMBR, and delete the second efi partition. Or is there a recommended bootmanager I can use to boot multiple versions of FreeBSD? Windows? Thank you! --Chris
