Hi all,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 12.2 AMD64, but each time I try, it hangs. The symptoms are exactly the same as the below which I found while searching:
However this is not a laptop, but a server motherboard, and there is no option to use IDE emulation on the SATA controller.
Any ideas why this is happening? I have tried booting both using a USB CDROM drive, and a USB stick with the same effect. I have also tried booting and installing other OSes via USB, and they all worked fine.
There is something specific about the FreeBSD bootloader causing this issue. The only thing in common is the use of USB for both the stick and CDROM, however I don't have the option of booting from another external device at the moment.
