I've been using FreeBSD on a virtual machine for a while now, for the reason that I'm a noob, in case it breaks something.
Well I have decided to use FreeBSD as the base system, but my problem is that it is impossible for me to boot FreeBSD. I followed the steps in the manual, I got the specific image for USB stick, check the integrity of the image with shasum(1) and it's fine.
I have created the partitioning system with gpart, I have tried it with MBR, EFI, GPT and I don't think this is the problem, I don't know if I'm wrong.
Then I have formatted it, and I have burned the FreeBSD image with dd as the handbook says. I can only get to the beginning when the boot beastie wizard appears, but when I want to start the boot, it does not start the kernel, it is frozen in "Loading Kernel".
My machine is a Dell LATITUDE E6500 BIOS ver: A18
Regards.
