Hello,
I have an interesting issue was hoping someone might be able to help, i have an older MBR based system (non-UEFI) that i would like to migrate to a new board that is UEFI based. I am wondering if there is there a way to migrate the Boot configuration and data (including Jails) from the MBR based drives to a UEFI based Drive-set. (similar to pulling the SSD from one system and migrating it to the other).
I have Jails and other data that i would like to be transitioned to the other system hence why i am looking at the data/configuration migration and i know this motherboard prefers the UEFI based booting rather than Legacy MBR.
