Might be blasphemy, but try 9.3, I'm running that on this box, which is 
a UEFI BIOS & am running AOK. Install was a bit of an adventure, but 
that was mostly because I was a FBSD noob trying a rather complex 
install (installing onto RAID'ed partitions, using script to size the 
partitions, etc.) .... I used a USB DVD for the install, not a memstick 
image, FWIW ....$0.02, no more, no less ....
