Hello, I'm a long term Linux user (like from 93), but researching my options as I'm feeling like leaving my current distro of 2-3 years residence, which is an Arch-based distro, and was wanting to install and test a FreeBSD option for my use case. I've previously done so, though it *may* have been with a different motherboard and in the 14.x era.
I've tested FreeBSD,Open, and Dragonfly and gotten basically the same failure to successfully boot with each, so apparently something on my end isn't working correctly and I'm really not familiar enough with BSD boot that anything is currently meaningful to me (so it may be obvious). I also tested the 14.4 and the 16.0 release.
I've tried safe boot and ahci off options and nothing really has changed.
I will attach a photo of a boot screen for perusal. Any suggestions are welcome and thank you.
