Booting the img stick

Yes, there has been no change, I haven't yet ran with your last suggestions, when I say unchanged...i do mean it ;)
I'm actually pretty hopeful in disabling the graphics driver, that could certainly be it. I'll try it (along with the others) when I get more awake.

Okay, good luck. Is the error message still the same? Which one?
 
At least my take on it, is there is no error shown, those are simply initial messages from the kernel...but what you see (in the graphic) is what I get as the end result.
Sure wish there was a way to test this like in 'virtualbox', but then I wouldn't be testing the same thing/environment :(
 
The:
"efi framebuffer information"
message with the
address and size...
...
...
staging 0x76e00000
...
points to a problem with the graphics card.
That is more than likely.
 
Ok, how do I put the directive into loader.conf when I can't boot? (btw, the other parameters alone didn't change anything) as entered as 'set' commands then issuing a 'boot', that was what you meant, right? (I'd hate to think I was doing it all wrong the whole time, but would be glad to learn.).
Remember, I may be a techie, but I'm not an experienced BSD user (at least yet).
 
You have a boot menu look at the options to pass settings option 7 Option 2 is to enter a shell (sh) But first press the spacebar You will have time to study this menu
This is the way to pass parameters from boot
You validate a command and the boot will continue for the installation
 
FreeBSD isn't Linux—where you just tinker here and there to see if things work.
If you want to use FreeBSD, start by reading the Handbook and following it to perform a clean installation.
Only then—once you've done that—will others be able to help you.
Otherwise, everyone is just wasting their time.
You were given plenty of information, but you didn't apply any of it because you didn't even know how to enter parameters at the installation menu.
