2.4 UEFI Install
-
If it's using UEFI you will notice from the console immediately because the console is in graphics mode as opposed to the old VGA text mode that the non-UEFI installation uses. The other thing you can check is to run this from the command prompt (over SSH or from the Diagnostics->Command Prompt menu):
$ gpart show => 40 62533216 ada0 GPT (30G) 40 409600 1 efi (200M) 409640 1024 2 freebsd-boot (512K) 410664 984 - free - (492K) 411648 4194304 3 freebsd-swap (2.0G) 4605952 57925632 4 freebsd-zfs (28G) 62531584 1672 - free - (836K)The first partition is of type "efi" which gives away that this is an UEFI install, if it's missing you're on the older style of installation.
Also, you can tell from the BIOS set up program of your system right away if it's UEFI, it will tell it to you as just about the first thing, very hard to miss.

Yeah, I just checked. It's still using MBR so probably BIOS (not UEFI).
