Hello!
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13 on my old "home server" (Gigabyte P55A UD3 + intel core i5 + 4gb ram + ssd + hdd).
Unfortunately BIOS startup process hangs if I have FreeBSD usb stick plugged into the PC.
I tried FreeBSD 8 and it passed BIOS startup process fine. Also I read that this motherboard may not work with newer BSD bootloaders: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/boot-disk-failure-on-newer-versions.84415/
I tried the same usb stick in my desktop PC and it was fine.
BIOS is updated to the latest version possible. Motherboard doesn't support uefi.
Any help is appreciated! Maybe someone has this very MB in use with FreeBSD and can confirm it works.
