boot

I need to update the bootsector after upgrading zfs pool. In 10.3 the command to disable the Operation not permitted error was: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 But that doesn't seem to work in 11.0: root@crayon2:~ # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 kern.geom.debugflags: 16 -> 16...

When installing a new FreeBSD 11.0 with zfs root, the installer creates 2 zfs pools and puts the contents of /boot in zfs:bootpool/boot. /boot is a symlink pointing to /bootpool/boot Normal boot process then does not mount bootpool (nice little security extra there) so the /boot symlink points...

Hello FreeBSD world, Please pardon my ignorance and anything crass I might have typed out, but I cannot seem to get FreeBSD (11 and 10.3) to boot past the 'Booting...' text from either the ISO or the QCOW2 image file for QEMU/KVM (yes I extracted it first) using QEMU/KVM. I ran checksums on...

I have an old Thinkpad laptop. In order to boot FreeBSD I need to add a device hints. I tried two of them and both work. Those are: hint.agp.0.disabled=1 hint.agp.1.disabled=1 I have only a vague idea what it does, it seems to affect AGP module in the kernel. I know that there is hint.agp.2...

Hi! Recently I've upgraded a FreeBSD server from v. 9.3 to v. 11.0 (through 10.3 because it "cowardly" refused to continue). The system was using the old pkg_ so I deinstalled all ports and after the final update I freshly installed all of them. I am using OpenLDAP on this system -...

I've been trying to put FreeBSD on my laptop (Dell XPS15, l502x). Previously, the memory stick worked (10.1 works), but on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0 (I haven't tried 10.2), boot fails with an "Operating system not found" message on screen. My laptop uses the traditional BIOS and UEFI I have a...

Hello FreeBSD community I am having problems booting from USB after writing the FreeBSD 11.0 image to a USB drive, although I have had the same issue when trying the UEFI-memstick image of FreeBSD 10.3. I used the command from the install guide with the filename changed to reflect the new...

Dear FreeBSD Support Team: Last year I upgraded the hardware in this Samsung NP300V4A by adding a 500 GB SSD and 12 GB RAM. So I decided to install FreeBSD 10.3, in that try I had problems installing it from the USB due to display errors at the moment of enter option 1 in the splash screen of...

There are two video adapters in my system: # pciconf -lvbce ... vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x040a1849 chip=0x040a8086 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Xeon E3-1200 v3 Processor Integrated Graphics Controller' class = display...

I'm having some troubles booting FreeBSD. I have experienced similar things before and have subsequently given up on installing BSD. With the stable release of FreeBSD 11, I thought I'd give it another try, but to no avail. I will describe my actions step by step. I grabbed the amd64 memstick...

I recently upgraded one of my storage severs from 10.3 -> 11.0, and then went to perform the zpool upgrade to enable the new hashing methods available on the root pool. This, after enabling the features of course, offers the friendly reminder that: If you boot from pool 'zroot', don't forget to...

I install FreeBSD 11 on my laptop. My laptop has two OS, one is Windows 10, another is Debian. My parted table type is msdos, partition(or slice) 1,2 is NTFS, partition(or slice) 5,6 is Linux data, partition(or slice) 4 is BSD. BSD slice has two partitions, one is freebsd-zfs (100G), two is...

At work I have a 10.3/AMD64 system that currently has root on a UFS2 file system on a single disk, and I'd like to ultimately move it to ZFS on mirrored disks. However, as I'd like to use the existing disk as one of the two mirror disks, my first step was to clone the contents of the current...

Ok Im going to try to be as detailed as possible, I'm running Freebsd 9.2. I started this adventure with two drive, a system drive and a second 3TB drive which mounted to /secDsk. My end goal was to install a new 8TB drive, copy all the data from the 3TB drive to the new 8TB drive. Then remove...

On pfSense 2.2.4 (FreeBSD 10.1), my custom init script filebeat_wrapper won't start at boot. According to rcorder it should start right after boot: # rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* (snip) /etc/rc.d/SERVERS /etc/rc.d/DAEMON /etc/rc.d/LOGIN /usr/local/etc/rc.d/filebeat_wrapper (snip)...

Hi all, I've seen that some of you already managed to install FreeBSD on a Wind machine. But I do not even get it to boot. I tried both, the DVD and the memory stick image. I wrote it to stick with dd, but also with unetbootin. But they do not appear in the list of bootable devices. The only...

Hello. I changed the SATA port on FreeBSD, now FreeBSD can't boot. What can I do? FreeBSD in ada1.

I want to chainload my FreeBSD system from Archlinux using systemd-boot (previously known as gummiboot) and I'm wondering if this is possible. My FreeBSD system is 10.3 running UEFI root on ZFS. Is there anyway I can either load the kernel, chainload the bootloader or do something so that I am...

I have been using boot environments with ZFS on PC-BSD/TrueOS for a year or so now and really like them. It's nice to be able to reboot and simply rollback the last update if something went wrong. Since FreeBSD 10.3 reports supports for boot environments I gave it a whirl today. I installed the...
