*BSD Unix with MBR or moving to non-UEFI GPT?
by dchmelik from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RKRF)
If I install NetBSD, FreeBSD, maybe OpenBSD, and DragonFlyBSD (which I heard does best symmetric multiprocessing, SMP) Unixes on my PC, can any boot on MBR from extended/logical partitions, or can I redo my solid state drive (SSD) as non-UEFI GPT and then boot them from any partitions, with LILO or GRUB2?
These day's I'd probably only install a DOS (FreeDOS or even MS/Win9x/ME) on my classic PC for classic graphics/music demonstrations (demos) & games but not on my main desktop PC, so I may as well switch to GPT when Slackware GNU/Linux 15 is out, if it'll make installation & booting easier, right?
