I am attempting to boot FreeBSD (base.txz and kernel.txz of 14-CURRENT snapshot) over the network with nfsroot. My DHCP/NFS server is Ubuntu 20.04 and running dnsmasq for DHCP. It boots a legacy BIOS mode client machine with pxeboot and nfsroot without problem. My loader.conf is...

I'm very new to FreeBSD and trying to instal FreeBSD 13.1 as the only OS on my new Acer Aspire 5 (A515-45G-R57J) with memstick. I used that instruction to create a bootable memstick: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/#bsdinstall-usb on macos and downloaded the following...

I use UEFI boot. /boot/loader.efi has been copied to /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi of a proper ESP partition and we can see it was actually called by the UEFI. It won't go on the next boot stage. disk1p3 is actually that boot partition with /boot, but why loader.efi won't recognize it as a bootable...

Hello everyone. I have a computer with Windows, Arch and Lubuntu and all these systems are booting from a Multi-Boot. Recently, I decided to download freebsd for some tests and decided to put the OS in my multi-boot. I allocated 20 GB, installed in UEFI/GPT and made 3 partitions from UFS...

After using Linux for several years, I decided to install FreeBSD. However, my system seems to be unable to detect the installed boot loader. efibootmgr shows that the boot loaderfile is "null", is that relevant? My boot loader is in /dev/ada0p1/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI I booted with a live USB...

Hi dear Daemons I tried to make a dual-boot with Ubuntu 20.10 and FreeBSD 12.2. To help me, I followed this great tuto: https://hauweele.net/~gawen/blog/?p=2252 When I try to boot FreeBSD from my GRUB menu entry, I got the error "Image has invalid negative size". Booting on Ubuntu works...

Hello! Just recently I updated desktop machine from 12.1 to 12.2. Compiled wold and custom kernel, installed and everything looked good. Then updated the zpool version, which then advised me to update the boot partition. Agree, that updating the boot loader with command gpart bootcode -p...

Hi there, Nowadays, UEFI boot and multiboot is a matter for all of us. We have more storage, GPT let us have many primary partitions and after all, with a boot loader like GRUB you will do it, Have a system with a few OS for Gaming, Developing, Testing, Work, etc. Most setups end like this: 1...

I have a multiboot configuration. I can boot anything without Grub2. But Grub only works with Windows(Veracrypt) and Ubuntu. Initially the current branch was installed, but now I am using the 12.0 RELEASE. When I try to start FreeBSD with Grub, this happens: Booting a command list error: Image...

The Freebsd Handbook, section 12.2 on the boot process, contains a note that seems to state that Freebsd does not support direct UEFI booting. The concern is that on our two Freebsd machines, the BIOS are set for UEFI. The note reads: Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

Good day everyone! I apologize if this appears as a redundant post, but I haven't been able to find a solution to the issue from my searches online, so I'm hoping I can get some help here! I installed FreeBSD on my Lenovo y700-15ISK with Win10 in UEFI without secure boot using the following...

I am new to UEFI boot systems, but I can't find an answer to this question. We have always used BIOS boot up until the newest DELL 14G systems. FreeBSD 10.3 on a DELL R740xd system - the boot drive was configured as UEFI boot and system changed from BIOS to UEFI boot. But when I install a...
