Description Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-02-16 13:15:57 UTC 
The default FreeBSD installer, bsdinstall(8), asks for partition table even when it doesn't make sense.  In particular, on aarch64 it presents the user with four choices: Apple Partition Map, BSD labels, GPT, and MBR.  I believe only one of those is actually supported on this architecture.
