Mobo: Aorus Gaming 7 z370 Dual boot Win10 and FreeBSD on separate drives. Win10 is in an Optane/iRST config, so it's enabled in the BIOS. When I want to boot into FreeBSD, I find that the only way to do so is disabling iRST, otherwise this happens during boot: nvme_ctrlr_start_config_hook...

1. Some messages are available after booting (using dmesg), but some are not. What's up with that? A lot of the time, the messages that I want to see aren't included in dmesg. 2. For messages that aren't available in dmesg, are they captured elsewhere? 3. The output during boot seems overly...

Hi, newcomer here. I'm having problems with unusually long boot time of the system. It takes around 45 seconds. I don't remember it being that way last time I tinkered with FreeBSD. The system I installed it on is Thinkpad T440p with i5-4300m, 12GB RAM and I used the m.2 SATA SSD for it. I used...

Hi guys. I must admit I am starting to lose it :D I have been investigating FreeBSD internals the last week and it really looks like magic to me. First thing I want to state my objectives. I want to build a sort of live/ro/non tamperable installation of FreeBSD. I have investigated NomadBSD to...

What I'm considering doing is using a generic two port M.2 drive (SATA and NVMe) as my root and swap device. Two of my systems on the network I'm constructing do not suport UEFI (HP Microserver G7 N54L). The M.2 SATA SSD is going to be connected to the internal systemboard SATA port. I'm...

Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 as Desktop OS on my Lenovo X230 with 16GB RAM and ZFS as file system. This is my first FreeBSD install. So far, I haven't had any issues with ZFS, but I have some slightly concerning boot messages and was wondering if I should change any ZFS-related...

I just created a new system from sysinstall (used the 12.0-RELEASE ISO) and chose to use the nice, menu driven ZFS boot config that is now in sysinstall. Everything went fine and I am booted up, etc. however I am really surprised to see all of the individual filesystems that were created for me...

Hi, I need to install freebsd on windows machine. The bootloader must be in a usb key, preferably in the second partition. Something like this: ada0s3a as root partition; ada0s3b as swap partition; da1s2 (usb key) as boot partition. I have tried several ways to do this without success. I come...

My wonderful Apple PowerPC G5 has got a non-Apple DVD-Burner . The Apple OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) installation CD DOES boot from it. However, FreeBSD 12.0 for PPC does NOT boot from this DVD-ROM. To make this a real problem, the MAC PowerPC Firmware does not boot from USB, either. How can I get...

I would like to try FreeBSD after I tried out Linux. I have tested FreeBSD earlier on VirtualBox, and it succeeded. I have created my FreeBSD USB using dd as my first attempt on Kali Linux, following the tutorial. I have used FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT 2019/2/28 memstick.img as my release for testing...

Hi all, I've got a FreeBSD installation on my VPS, it uses ZFS as its file system. At the end of last year I wanted to clone it onto a local VirtualBox VM, so I did something like the following: # zfs snap -r zroot@2018-11-06 # zfs send -R zroot@2018-11-06 | gzip | ssh my.home.system "cat >...

Hello, I am installing FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso in a computer that currently has Windows 10 Ultimate installed; I have a part time job as a C# developer and as people get habituated to Vim shortcuts (me too) I guess because there's something about them that is difficult to forget...
