hi
I have been using freebsd and windows 7 on mbr partitioned hdd (using easybcd on windows to manipulate boot menu and boot code).
recently I bought an new machine with Intel I7 processor, uefi bios, ssd and installed windows 7 64-bit first.
after that I installed freebsd 10 (amd64); I used guided partitioning, which created a 64-kB freebsd-boot partition, a 48GB / partition and a swap about 2.5 GB.
Then I tried to set up booting by the same method: install easybcd in windows, then set up boot menu with easybcd, add an entry freebsd as BSD/FreeBSD type entry, but this time I am not able to get it work.
Win 7 boots OK, but freebsd does not start, the windows boot manager complains about missing or corrupt boot block, which is definitely on the given full path.
How can I get a working dual booting system in this case? Can anbody help me?
Regards
