Hi all. IRC was stumped so I came here and made an account to get some more visibility on this issue. I am attempting to install FreeBSD on my older homebuilt desktop computer and I keep getting this "BTX Halted" error immediately on boot: https://i.imgur.com/JptVTdq.jpg
The machine in question has an MSI p55-gd55 motherboard and an Intel i5-750, 16GB RAM. I have tried 12.0-RELEASE, 12.0-STABLE, and 13.0-CURRENT all with the same results. I've used the same stick to boot various Linux isos on this machine and others recently with no issues. I am writing the usb stick on a Void Linux (running Musl libc although I don't think that matters) machine with dd if=[memstick.img] of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=sync as per the documentation. I also tried each of these with bs=10240 since I came across another forum post for the same issue that was solved that way, but no dice there either.
Any ideas to get past this? I've been running FreeBSD in a VM for the last few days and I really want to switch over to it permanently.
