Switching between BIOS and UEFI (and vice versa) on a Dell R730

These are some notes I want to keep handy. They will help me switch back and forth between UEFI and BIOS booting.

In this post:

  • FreeBSD 14.1
  • Dell R730

To move from BIOS boot to UEFI boot

  • System BIOS |
    Boot Settings: Boot Mode = UEFI
  • System BIOS |
    System Settings |
    Device Settings |
    PERC: Select Boot Device = None
  • Then you have to wait for it to boot, query devices, the go back into:
  • F2 – System Setup |
    System BIOS |
    Boot Settings |
    UEFI Boot Settings |
    UEFI Boot Sequence – move your drives to the top of the list.

Future work will add how to move from BIOS to UEFI, but the above should be a good start.
