Can't boot installer

B

Bellum

I'm trying to boot up and install FreeBSD on a Presario CQ56.

It doesn't get any farther than displaying

Code: 
Looking up BOOT/LOADER... Found

before rebooting. Am I out of luck here?
 
That looks like a BIOS message. Are you trying to boot a CD, DVD or memory stick?
 
A CD. Well, the CD image burned to a DVD. I used it to install FreeBSD on an older Desktop a month or two ago, so I know the CD works.
 
I did. No cigar though. It's a UEFI. Does that make a difference? Never heard of it before, I'll admit.
 
That makes a world of difference. As far as I know you can't boot FreeBSD directly, the boot loader needs some BIOS calls to work. I'm not sure how you would solve this though.
