--- Comment #6 from Colin Percival <cperciva at FreeBSD.org> ---
Allan: My laptop doesn't refuse to boot, but it does behave badly (bogus error
message) when booting via BIOS + GPT if the fake MBR is not set to active. 
Running the above-mentioned command fixes this.

My understanding from Marcel's commit r251588 is that having the fake MBR set
as active breaks UEFI booting, but I haven't tested this myself.
