Here are the 3 use cases I tested: 1. The first disk, the one on which I have tried installboot, had FreeBSD on it using ZFS and I had trouble reusing it. The partition table was MBR. 2. The second disk had OpenBSD and installing NetBSD worked perfectly. The partition table was also MBR. 3. The server was previously running FreeBSD using ZFS. The R610 is a UEFI-only system, so the partition table was GPT. The size of the existing EFI partition was 200 MB. My first installation attempt consisted in deleting the FreeBSD partition but keeping the EFI one. I went through the whole installation without any trouble, but the system refused to reboot (can't remember the message). However, after using the gpt command to destroy the GPT table and create a new layout with a 128 MB EFI partition, the installation works as well as before, but the system now boots normally.
