It's not clear to me whether this is the same issue (or whether the
thinks you linked to are all the same issue), though it definitely could
be. In the post I made in January I mentioned that I'd successfully
installed other things (specifically Debian and HP-UX) without any
problems at all, so I'm inclined to believe this is a problem with
either FreeBSD's GENERIC kernel or FreeBSD's EFI loader.

Mostly my frustration at this point is trying to determine whether this
is a known issue or not.

I guess I'll have to live with Debian for a while....
