Installing freeBSD with UEFI: secure Boot Violation Invalid...

[Elimelech]

There is a laptop with Windows 11 on board. I want to uninstall Windows. I burned a USB flash drive, but at startup a message appeared:

"secure Boot Viiolation
Invalid signatured/ Check Decure Boot Policy in Setup"

What freeBSD can't boot from UEFI? Or do I need to write something on a different flash drive?

Maybe disable a secure boot setting in the bios configuration ?

Hi Every one,

Does FreeBSD supports secure boot?
I found few links which says how it can be achieved for QEMU. I want to do same on ESXi but could find any references so far. Tried secure boot with stock BSD 13.2 but it failed to boot with signature error. If any one has any references that would help.

It seems to be work in progress: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SecureBoot
No timeline, no ETA. It might take a while ...

Just disable it. It's nothing but snake oil. The master keys from microsoft have been leaked anyways and it has several design flaws that are actively exploited (mostly for windows rootkits).
I.e. it adds *ZERO* security to a system but in turn adds yet another layer of completely opaque firmware...
