Hi,
I'm playing with GPT on amd64/stable7 (r192123).
My workstation (no-name, Core2duo), IBM T60 laptop and IBM x3650/x3550
servers are booting fine, but Intel Entry Server (SE7230NH1-E) can not
boot:
"No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
kernel is compiled with:
# Default partitioning schemes
-options GEOM_BSD
-options GEOM_MBR
+options GEOM_PART_BSD
+options GEOM_PART_MBR
and bootable install usb is created with:
# dev="da0"
# gpart create -s GPT ${dev}
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ${dev}
# gpart add -b 34 -s 128 -t freebsd-boot ${dev}
# gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ${dev}
# gpart add -b 162 -s $(gpart show ${dev} |grep 'free -' |awk '{print
$2}') -t freebsd-ufs ${dev}
# newfs -n ${dev}p2
Maybe box is too old?

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
