Wheezy (Debian 7) for amd64 was the first release with native support
for UEFI. Earlier versions will recognise and support GPT
partitioning, but if you must have UEFI booting you will need version
7.
The kfreebsd ports don't (yet) have UEFI support, I'm waiting for help
/ guidance to add it on our installation media.
