Re: Bay Trail 32bit UEFI

CherryTrail devices/boards with 64bit UEFI are already out. Upgrading the
hardware is one solution (I did).

I never did try FreeBSD on BayTrail but for running Linux on BayTrail I
used special built Grub that was 32bit but could load 64bit OS. Could this
kind of Grub boot a 64bit FreeBSD, I wonder?
