Solved 32bit efi Asus Aspire Switch 10

[LibreQuest]

I purchased an Asus Aspire Switch 10 tablet / laptop with windows 10 yesterday and tried to install FreeBSD. I noticed there was no available 32bit efi in the installer. I have installed OpenBSD now using their 32bit efi with a 64bit install.

Is there any way I can install to this hardware with FreeBSD? I don't mind OpenBSD but I really prefer to use FreeBSD.

Any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: Just noticed another thread on the topic.

Can you enter the BIOS and disable UEFI (enable legacy boot)?
Then you probably just can boot the amd64 version (which also is the version for 64bit Intel Chips).

No, there is no legacy boot mode. It's basically a terrible piece of hardware that Acer should be ashamed of forever.

You can disable secure boot check but you still have to select an efi config file in order to load an os. It's the worst of hardware.

Edit: I placed solved on the topic when I realized there is no support for 32bit efi. It's ok. I'll do the best I can with it. Even if I can't run the best BSD.
