Hello,
Trying to install FreeBSD 13.0 from the mini memstick image. I created the USB correctly using dd comand.
In UEFI mode while booting the USB stick I get this:
First, I wiped both hard drives on the target system with DBAN. The system previously had a grub loader with one OS on each hard drive. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and Windows 10 Pro. I suspect that when I wiped both hard drives with DBAN that the grub loader is still there since DBAN can't see hidden partitions. I haven't investigated this further, but I think it shouldn't matter unless I'm mistaken in how BSD works.
Edit: Did more reading, I would have to convert both hard drives to GPT from MBR. I don't want to do that so I'll stick with legacy BIOS options if that's possible. When I boot the USB in legacy BIOS mode I get this:
If I try to boot from the USB in legacy BIOS mode I get a grldr error. What can I do to solve the above grldr error? Edit: I tried booting the USB in both UEFI and legacy BIOS mode with both hard drives unplugged to see what would happen and I get the same errors. The loader.lua error in UEFI mode and the grldr error in legacy BIOS mode.
- Regards.
