Root Cause:
The system default FreeBSD’s bootloader take first 4 partitiona as the boot menu’s option, and we are unable to adjust it. Even though there is no bootloader in it. This make only the partition with bootloader can bootup normally. In our disk, only partition 2 (F2) has its bootloader.

Solution:
1. Upgrade APVx900 gold disk's default boot sector(/dev/sda) from FreeBSD bootloader to GRUB.
2. Modify grub.cfg to remove unused boot option.
3. Remove CLI relative to FreeBSD's bootloader.

  1. update on APVx900 machine and then reboot
  2. the boot menu only has two boot options (Ustack Master, Ustack Slave)
  3. CLI system boot slice is removed
