EFI on BSDs problem

Thank you, but that's not my problem actually.
The problem is to install the system. The installers don't recognize GPT.
BTW, maybe OT: Is it possible to somehow substitute the BIOS with an UEFI thing? Maybe through patching it?
So that the "chip" on the mainboard keeps his old name "BIOS", but it's EFI in it?
Sorry if that's a dumb question.
Edit2: Just found it, it is called coreboot, I will investigate in that. But go back to installing on GPT ;-)

Hi Peeps,
Can anyone help me an EFI lablel on a 3510 raid array that I cannot get rid of, format -e and label just asks you if you want to label it. Want an SMI label writing to it.
Anyone got any ideas on how to remove the EFI label?
Thanks in advance
