If the bootpool does not start at the first sector of the BSD partition
then zfsldr seeks to the wrong offset inside the ZFS vdev label, and is
unable to find zfsboot, so the system does not boot
If 4k alignment is requested, align the BSD partition in the MBR table,
and align the swap and data pool, but the bootpool must start at sector 1
While here, if 4k alignment is requested, disable MBR CHS alignment, as
this results in not-4k aligned partitions.

For Lenovo laptops with buggy bios (x220, t420, t520):
Write the 0xee entry into the second slot in the pmbr instead of the first
For some Dell and HP models:
The BIOS gives a warning message when booting in legacy mode from a GPT partitioned disk where the 0xee partition in the pmbr is not flagged active
For models known to have this problem, mark the pmbr active during installation
Use smbios data to identify machines known to be affected by any of the above, and offer the user the option to apply the workaround
In bsdinstall's ufs auto mode (autopart partition wizard):
Allow users to select which type of partition table to use
Keep current defaults: MBR for BIOS, GPT for UEFI
This allows users to choose GPT for legacy boot if they wish

Test Plan:
Drop a head copy of check-password.4th into /boot and then apply the patch
(only the patch to /boot/check-password.4th is required; no other changes are
required but you do have to have a HEAD copy of check-password.4th to
apply the patch).
NB: The rest of your /boot files can be up to 2 years old but no older.
NB: The test won't work unless your kernel has the following change
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=273489
Now, put into /boot/loader.conf:
geom_eli_passphrase_prompt="YES"
and reboot.
You should be prompted for a GELI passphrase before the menu (if enabled),
just after loading loader.conf(5).
NB: It doesn't matter if you're using GELI or not. However if you are using
GELI and a sufficiently new enough release (has SVN r273489) and you entered
the proper passphrase to mount your GELI encrypted root device(s), you should
notice that the boot process did not stop (you went from loader all the way to login).

an embedded newline appearing within the options string surrounded by
double-quotes. Rework the logic that goes into setting dataset options on
the root pool dataset while we're here -- added two new variables (which
can be altered via scripting) ZFSBOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS and also
ZFSBOOT_BOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS for setting pool/dataset attributes at
the time of pool creation. The former is for setting options on the root
pool (zroot) and the latter is for setting options on the optional separate
boot pool (bootpool) implicitly enabled when using either GELI or MBR. The
default value for the root pool variable (ZFSBOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS) is
"-O compress=lz4 -O atime=off" and the default value for separate boot pool
variable (ZFSBOOT_BOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS) is NULL (no additional options
for the separate boot pool dataset).

Replace the variable with disks_grammar and move 'disk' and 'disks' to

that the slightly older dialog(1) requires --separate-output when using the
--checklist widget to force response to produce unquoted values (whereas in
stable/10 --checklist widget without --separate-output will only quote the
checklist labels in the response if the label is multi-word (contains any
whitespace).
Since these enhancements (see revisions 263956 and 264437) were developed
originally on 10, the --separate-output option was omitted. When merged to
stable/9, we (Allan Jude) and I found during testing that the "always-
quoting" of the response was causing things like struct interpolation to
fail (`f_struct device_$dev' would produce `f_struct device_\"da0\"' for
example -- literal quotes inherited from dialog(1) --checklist response).
To see the behavior, execute the following on stable/9 versus stable/10:
dialog --checklist disks: 0 0 0 da0 "" off da1 "" off
Check both items and hit enter. On stable/10, the response is:
da0 da1
On stable/9 the response is:
"da0" "da1"
If you use the --separate-output option, the response is the same for both:
da0
da1
So applying --separate-output on every platform until either one of two
things occurs 1) dialog(1,3) gets synchronized between stable/9, higher or
2) we drop support for stable/9.

Problem was when you install to a given layout *with* swap and then turn
