Hello I'm pretty new to free BSD. I am trying to install freeBSD 11.2 on my thinkpad t470, but sadly I have had no luck launching the installer. I have played around with freeBSD 11.1 a little and managed to install it on my ancient toshiba sattelite notebook. When I tried using the same tried and true dvd iso image on my thinkpad it failed to launch the installer. I'm not sure what sort of details I should include in this post so forgive me if I've left out any information.
 
Assuming you are trying to boot off a USB stick, try downloading the *memstick.img installer instead of the *.iso which is meant to be burned directly to a CD/DVD.

Tip: Make sure to disable Secure boot and TPM in your BIOS when using FreeBSD.

All fixed now: It was the secure boot and TPM that were screwing things up. Thanks! :)
