Hi,
I'm looking to install freeBSD 11.2 onto a home PC I'm am buying parts for and building. I'm trying to figure out motherboard compatability. From what i've read on the release notes and all, it seems like any reasonably current system should be ok, and it's just checking the peripheral components and the chipset driving them that can be an issue. So I was trying to figure out, for example, if the storage controller would be ok. According to the motherboard manufacturer's website, the B365 is controlling all of the SATA drives/devices. I don't see intel B365 listed under supported storage controllers.
Has anyone successfully built a system using intel B365 mobo running freeBSD 11.2?
Is there anything I am missing in my quest to build the system?
My proposed system will be using an Intel i5-9400 on a ASUS TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING mobo, probably reusing a vertex 3 SSD, and putting an intel i350-T2v2 in each of the PCI 16 slots. The onboard LAN for mobo is Intel® I219V so I am not expecting this to be a problem. (I'm also planning on 16GB of DD4 2666, and a 500W power supply). My goal is to install and run it as a pfsense firewall/router (DHCP,DNS,Suricata,PfBlockerNG etc...).
Thanks in advance for any info and successes or challenges.
I did a quick search and didn't find this discussed before, but appologize if somehow i've missed something already resolved.
