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

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)

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...
Hi all,

Just yesterday everything was fine, zpool status had all four hard disks ONLINE... what can i do? :/
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...
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my set of FreeBSD12 machines to FreeBSD13. Since I use them for automatically configured jails, the host machines are basically 'reinstall to upgrade' devices on ESX.
My existing installerconfig setup doesn't work: it installs but doesn't boot. I did a manual install...
Hello.
My “FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE r354233” box sometimes shuts down its output VGA signal after I disconnect (physically) a monitor from the cable. Everything else works: keyboard, X server, even virtual console switching succeeds (as indicated with vidcontrol -i active </dev/ttyv1) and may be...
Hi,
I am planning to do a bare-metal installation of FreeBSD 12.1 on a intel 330 SSD which already contain Devuan 3.0 Linux on UEFI-GPT system. I'm planning to install Gnome 3. I tried running the installer and manual mode in bsdinstall seems to me, confusing. It is asking for entire disk or...
I am trying to install FreeBSD to the same HDD to which my Linux and Windows are installed; so it may be called triple-boot. I am using EFI-compatible firmware and a version of grub that on startup offers me to load one of the 2 systems that I have installed; now I want to install FreeBSD as the...
Hi!
After installing graphics/drm-kmod and enabling AMDGPU as per Wiki (with EFI workaround), the image in console looks distorted:
The issue happens on 12.1-RELEASE, 12-STABLE and 13-CURRENT with Radeon RX570. Also, I've tried graphics/drm-current-kmod and graphics/drm-devel-kmod as well...
Goofy question: How to add an EFI entry for a second FreeBSD installation?
I have two FreeBSD installation on the same disk partitioned this way:
1. EFI
2. FreeBSD 12.1
3. FreeBSD 13.0
As it stands I have HP g2 laptop, I've already had this OS installed on it on second hdd letting it take the entire disk.
Now I want to incorporate Linux and make everything efi as this IOS burned to a usb stick turns out it is EFI. Testing stage I am in. I have a 500GB sdd, I partition it out...
