Hi everyone, Just wanted to share a quick tip for anyone running into this issue on FreeBSD 14.3, especially on Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P motherboards.. Problem: When running FreeBSD 14.3 in UEFI mode, poweroff (or shutdown -p now) would stop the OS, turn off USB ports, but the CPU and fans would...

Hi, all! After replacing the disk in the zfs pool, I created a similar layout. Please tell me how to correctly create a bootloader in the efi and freebsd-boot partition on the new disk? My OS is FreeBSD 13.5. Bit-by-bit copying of data from similar mfid4p1 and mfid5p2 partitions? Or is there a...

I have a problem that I seem to be unable to figure out myself. I would greatly appreciate any help that the people here could offer. Situation A UPS fault caused a power interruption in my FreeBSD file server. Since this event the system has been unable to boot. It displays the following...

At least for my personal taste, without trying to figure out "why would I do that?" I'm looking for a way to tweak Installing FreeBSD Root on ZFS using GPT by giving the ZFS root a whole disk instead of just a partition. ¹ I had no problems setting the swap partition on another disk. But when...

After switching from BIOS to EFI as of https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/beastie-splash-and-freebsd-lettering-reverted-to-ascii-after-upgrade-to-14-2.96771/#post-692344 I have no more virtual consoles. When booting the screen shortly turns black when switching to X11/lightdm. Ctrl-Alt-F1-6...

After a power failure, my system booted with the following message: \ Some googling on the unsupported feature: com.delphix:head_errlog message led me to this helpful post: https://unixdigest.com/tutorials/upgrading-to-freebsd-14-how-to-fix-a-broken-bios-bootcode.html I followed the...

Hi, I'm currently managing a rented server from a provider (OVH) that does not allow to natively install freeBSD. However, it is still possible and so I installed freebsd 14.1 from the official sources (the BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs version). My server has 4 identical hard drives (ada0, ada1, ada2...

I wanted to boot my FreeBSD server from a mirror, but I wanted to mirror both ZFS pool and the EFI partition. So I performed this kind of configuration: # gpart create -s gpt nvd0 # gpart create -s nvd1 # gpart add -t efi -s 200M nvd0 # gpart add -t efi -s 200M nvd1 # gpart add -t freebsd-zfs...

Every time I update FreeBSD 14-STABLE from source, the Beastie Menu contains a line stating "Loader needs to be updated". Having read https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/relnotes/ this is what I do (/boot/efi is mounted by default): # efibootmgr -v [truncated] +Boot0000* FreeBSD...

Hi, I installed FreeBSD with manual partitioning (Because I am multibooting [OpenBSD,Linux Mint]). I setted them like this: ada0p1 (EFI partiton) (automatically selected as EFI Partition and mountpoint is also automatically set to /boot/efi) ada0p6 (FreeBSD partition. Uses UFS) ada0p5 (FreeBSD...

I have a 13.2-RELEASE-p4 machine with four hard drives. They are all partitioned just like this one: # gpart show ada0 => 40 35156656048 ada0 GPT (16T) 40 532480 1 efi (260M) 532520 2008 - free - (1.0M) 534528 33554432 2...

Hello, For years, since FreeBSD 10.x, I have been booting my router with a custom built nanobsd image, from a USB Flash drive. It has worked fine with a motherboard having an Intel Atom N270 CPU, then until now, with another motherboard having an Intel Atom N2800 CPU. My nanobsd image is based...

I have a machine which previously dual-booted Windows 10 and GhostBSD, using rEFInd (which was installed by the GhostBSD installer). I'm trying to wipe the machine and install a fresh copy of FreeBSD 13.1 as the only OS on the machine. (I used GhostBSD to figure out some hardware stuff and...

How can I do that? Anyone know? I use my disk as GPT. Windows 10, Debian 11 (GRUB) already exists as dual-boot, but I want to install FreeBSD next to it. How will I do? Thanks.

I have upgraded from 12.2 to 13.0 and rEFInd detects FreeBSD/boot1.efi in ESP partition and can boot into FreeBSD. However, when I tried with copying /boot/loader.efi into the ESP partition FreeBSD folder, it is not booting. It is showing below error. Note that ESP partition is in SSD and...

In reference of https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28897 I do not understand this comment: "For redundant ZFS-root systems, space is reserved for an ESP on all root-pool disks, but only one is initialized and mounted" For example in simple case with 2 disk in mirror, only the first can boot, if the...

Hello to everyone. I hope to make happy someone,explaining how to boot Debian using the EFI bootloader and Bhyve. There is an extra configuration to do,otherwise it will not boot at all. First of all,I'm using vm-bhyve and this conf. file : loader="uefi" cpu=8 memory=8GB...

Hello everyone. I have installed the FreeBSD with a lot of help of the community, but ran into another serious issue after installing and adding nvidia modules into kernel + modifying my /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf to launch gnome3 by default exactly as it was said. And now I am having...
